3.00 star(s)

Farah Fawcett stars in this movie wearing black hi-tops mostly in a county fair segment and in a few scenes after the fair. This is practically the ONLY time Farah has worn converse. She is not a converse kind of gal at all. Only other sneakers she has worn that I know of are a pair of Nike Cortez.

A film about pig wrestling? 😉

Nice job with the screen captures, considering the source material was probably 480p resolution or worse. For those wanting to watch this, I believe it's streaming on Tubi.

I came across an old Sneaker-Forums post implying Farrah Fawcett occasionally wore Keds Champions. See below. Too bad no pictorial evidence was provided. She was in many TV movies, so the odds of a few scenes with her wearing other brands of sneakers are at least fair.

  Re: Favorite female Keds wearing TV star?
  
  I would agree wholeheartedly re: Jaclyn Smith, but I've got this thing for the blonde!
  Patty Duke, in the 90's, wore lots of keds. Maybe not the hottest, but at least she contributed to our cause.
  Lindsay Wagner also wears keds champs in several of her movies. Kate Jackson has as well, along with Farrah Fawcett.
  I wish there would be more LMN movies with keds today.

More like pig chasing. Not my fault that whole county fair segment and the aftermath of their day at the fair are the only scenes in the whole movie where Farah wears chucks. As for just finding out that she wore keds champions, I'm very surprised! I guess I'm ignorant for not knowing much about her or what else she did besides being every man's crush with Charlie's Angels and other tv and movie stuff she did in the 70s. I tried finding various pictures of her in sneakers but all that came up was her iconic 1976 skateboarding set of her in the Nike Cortez sneakers and a photo of her playing tennis in some white tennis sneakers but that was it. No keds, no converse, nothing really else. AND as for the poor resolution, yes, I got these images from the movie on YouTube. 480p was the best it could be. My apologies if the captured images are hard to make out.

To be clear: I wasn't criticizing anything about your post...just making some observations! I agree that Farrah was probably not the kind of person to regularly wear sneakers in real life.

I know lol I'm just playing. Criticism is fine so long as it's constructive and helpful.
