Description
Color slide of sportscaster Phyllis George holding a CBS microphone and interviewing tennis player Bobby Riggs. The event taking place is the taping of an episode from the television program Challenge of the Sexes. Bobby Riggs is standing with his hands on his hips, smiling, and looking at something in the distance. He is wearing a "Challenge of the Sexes/Mission Viejo" T-shirt and yellow tennis shorts. Phyllis George is standing next to Mr. Riggs, looking at him, and perhaps asking him a question. Her left hand is in the midst of gesturing. She is wearing a white tennis dress with a white jacket over it. The frame of the slide has a label that reads, "76-019, Frame 005." Aforementioned label is covering the photographer's stamp. The following is the information that is not covered by the label: "Spectra-Action, 18037 Midwest, St. Lou." "Oct 76" is also stamped on the slide frame.
