I always liked Beth Davenport, Jim Rockford's lawyer on The Rockford Files. Beth was no damsel in distress. She was the one Rockford called when HE got in trouble. Beth was smart, tough, and could go toe-to-toe with the smarmy boys who often underestimated her, and she always managed to outsmart them. She was also never slutty or humorless and nasty, which is all you seem to get on TV these days. She just happened to be a woman who just happened to be a lawyer, and she was a really good one. Forget all the worthless feminist icons of that age, my vote for Woman of the Seventies is Beth Davenport.
