Program Description

Event Details

Fasten your seat belts and get ready to travel back to the golden age of air travel. In the 1960s when jets were new, the stewardess was an all-American fantasy: hostess, nurse, cook, therapist, and even sex symbol. In this historical portrayal, historian Leslie Goddard, Ph.D., takes you on an exciting, true story about the real-life stewardesses of Pan Am, the most glamorous U.S. airline. Learn about serving the rich and famous, sticking to strict height, weight, and age requirements, cooking gourmet meals, and enduring some wild rides. Buckle up – this is one flight you won’t forget.
