Yeah, she was hired for the airline attendant job in an era when the airlines largely picked only beautiful young women for that that job, and it’s legal for the airlines to do so back then. For many decades, it was assumed that if someone is a air hostess, she is beautiful. It was a different world then. Shrug

Yes, times have changed. Now the only job that people assume is “beautiful people only” is bank accountant.
