Suzanne cops Stevie's look!
 

Check out this clip from the Donny & Marie show from the 70's. I think Suzanne Sommers snuck into Stevie's closet. Forward to 4:15. I half expected Suzanne to break out into a rousing rendition of Stand Back!

Ha! I love Paul Lynde!

OMG!!
First, you are soooo right. She looks just like her :)

Second, how did you ever stumble upon this clip?? I'm guessing you weren't watching old Donny and Marie reruns on youtube. :)

Third, Paul Lynne playing a married (to a woman) guy. Now that's what I call acting :)

Just to amend my first response...I actually thing the other woman in the camping skit looked more like Stevie :)

And how did people use to sit though variety shows? :) Donny and Suzanne were, um, not great.

What a classic.I was a littlebit country.and I was rock and roll.Betty White ,Paul Lynde.Oh I do like Suzanne Somers.They dont make tv like they used to.Today we got crap.

I was actually on a Betty White kick and watching videos from her long career. I also used to love the Donny & Marie show so I had to check that out.

LOL... I know he always makes me laugh too

Oh hon, you're making me feel OLD. And I'm only 42! LOL!

The "other woman" is Donny's sister Marie in a blond wig. And the 70's were a very different time. While the teens and young adults were smoking pot and listening to Stevie belt out Rhiannon the families were going for more wholesome entertainment. Donny & Marie were what Glee is today. Entertainers doing watered down versions of rock songs on a family friendly tv show. TV had only been around for a few decades, color tv was a new and exciting thing. And the idea of making tv shows that really showed off brilliant colors, singing and dancing and comedy was a really big thing. And there was a lot of it. Sonny & Cher, Captain & Tennile, Shields & Yarnell, and even the Brady Bunch got into the act. Yeah it was corny but people liked corny. The edgy stuff was still on the fringes with stuff like Laugh-In, and even Saturday Night Live in it's early days was something the kids were already in bed before and was seen as really subversive and wild. It took a while for it to become the household name it is today.

marie looks very "stevie" to me in that part of the skit... with her hair up. Very "Tusk" era Stevie.

OMG, I remember watching this when it aired!!! And I had never heard the song Rock & Roll Fantasy before and when I heard the real song on the radio I thought "Hey, there's some dudes singing that Linda Carter song!" LOL!!! Thanks for sharing that.

I am surprised they let her get away with the KISS costume if this aired today" one million moms" would have a fit

I'm surprised KISS let them get away with those dancers dressed like KISS. It was like watching KISS in a bizzarro universe where instead of a hard rock band they are all gay Vegas dancers.
