Let’s test your 70s knowledge… (Picture: Getty/Metro.co.uk)
The 1970s was an era like no other.
Punk rock and disco were taking over the world, society was shifting with the end of the Vietnam War, and a generation was starting to move on from Flower Power.
From Pong launching video arcade games to another level and the advent of email to the floppy disk and the very first Apple computer, it really was an era of change.
We’re going back 50 years at this point, and so a lot of the famous faces from the time are understandably looking very different decades later.
We’ve brought together five stars from the 70s to test your film, TV and music knowledge. How many of these stars can you name?
