A look back at Helen Reddy’s acting roles in “Airport 1975,” “Pete’s Dragon” and on TV and stage

Helen Reddy, who died earlier this week at age 78, was a huge pop star in the 1970s with such classic hits as I Am Woman, Delta Dawn, Angie Baby, Ruby Red Dress, and Ain’t No Way to Treat A Lady, among others.
