'Put me on record, it was a fabulous life. I enjoyed it.'
Nutt graduated from Pan Am training as valedictorian of her class, and started flying out of Miami.
On board, Nutt, who after six months working for Pan Am became a purser, and later a stewardess manager, cooked fine food for passengers that was served on china plates. Nutt and her fellow Black flight attendants would sometimes face discrimination from White passengers. Nutt recalls one particular interaction with a White passenger from South Africa, which at the time was racially segregated under apartheid.
Pan Am's height and weight restrictions weren't limited to recruitment -- flight attendants were required to maintain a certain look and were sometimes subject to random weight checks. Nutt says such requirements were tolerated by Pan Am crew because of the travel opportunities the job afforded them.
"I loved being a stewardess, I learned so much about the world and myself traveling to foreign countries," says Nutt, reflecting on her career today."My respect for and appreciation of different cultures has contributed to the success of my marriage.""They are bicultural and love to travel the world," she says.
