Flying High: Betty the Pan Am Stewardess (historical portrayal)

You may remember Leslie Goddard from her performances here as Grace Kelly and Georgia O'Keeffe. This time Leslie brings to life "Betty, the Pan Am stewardess."

Fasten your uniform buttons 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 for Pan Am, the most glamorous U.S. airline. Learn about serving the rich and famous, about the strict height, weight and age requirements, about cooking gourmet meals and enduring some wild rides. Buckle up – this is one flight you won’t forget. Inspired by the books Up in the Air by Betty Riegel (2020) and Come Fly the World by Julia Cooke (2021).
