Hollywood icons Jon Voight and Raquel Welch are shown in this picture from the 47th Academy Awards, which was taken on April 8, 1975, at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles. Standing next to Welch, who dazzles in a low-cut lavender gown, is Voight, who is dressed in a traditional black tuxedo. Standing in front of the recognizable Oscar statue, both exude the glitz and glitter of the day.
Voight had already made a name for himself by 1975 thanks to parts in movies like Deliverance and Midnight Cowboy. Famous for her beauty and adaptability, Welch rose to prominence in movies such as Fantastic Voyage and One Million Years B.C. The two accepted the Best Cinematography prize at the event.
This scene captures the grace and grandeur of the Oscars in the middle of the 1970s in addition to its star power.
