Celebrities at Home in the '70s: The Photos

There's something indescribably cozy about the 1970s. Maybe it was the shag carpets, overstuffed furniture, and generously knit sweaters. Maybe there were just fewer things to do outside the house. Whatever the reason, photos from this era evoke a certain vibe. A mood. And it's perfect for right now, when the boredom of being home all the time is running into the reality that because of the changing weather we'll all have to spend more time at home. Don't despair. Put a record on the hi-fi stereo, pour yourself a cup of something hot, or strong, or both, and enjoy these photos of celebrities at home in the '70s.
