This is so adorable and cute. It is nuts the standards they imposed on women back then.

But she looks super happy and I love seeing younger photos of people back then.

In a lot of ways they were so different than they are today of course. Gives you a glimpse into their life in the past.

What makes the stewardess standards back then look even more insane is when you look at what the US MILITARY required of their servicewomen of the 50s and 60s. Even THEY didn't have stuff like these height restrictions (or at least ones that restrictive) and allowed the ladies to marry and keep serving in the vast majority of cases.

Thanks. I’m not 100% sure (and she no longer remembers), but I suspect that she is so happy here because this was her first day on the job.
