Controversial Dick Cavett Show
We’ve come a long way since 1970, and we’re glad for that. Discussions about LGBQT issues are now more common and awareness is something taught by many parents. But more than 50 years ago, that was not the case, which made this particular episode of The Dick Cavett Show so memorable.
The episode featured Janis Joplin and Raquel Welsh, who was talking about a controversial sex-change comedy she worked on. Janice Joplin mentioned that she had a difficult time following the film because it “kept changing.” Welch rather cooly responded, “Well the whole movie is about change!” Glad to hear Welsh was proud and wanting to talk about the film.
