Quoting:
Culkin in the Jackson video "Black Or White" was 90's. So was Keanu Reeves in Paula Abdul's video "Rush".

Alicia Silverstone was in a few videos. I cannot remember for the life of me if they were Aerosmith videos and/or possibly Tom Petty's "Free-Falling".   ???

Alicia Silverstone was in a couple of Aerosmith videos.  One of them was "Crazy".  She was also in one with Liv Tyler but I am not sure what one or if it was even 80's.

Definitely 90's. They were kids in the 80's.

Arsenio Hall in Paula Abdul's Straight Up.
What is the name of the actor in Bonnie Raitt's Thing Called Love (was that 90s?).  He also played Jerry Lee Lewis around the same time in the movie with Winona Ryder.  Sh*it, it's driving me crazy.  What's his name?

Dennis Quaid...yummy ;D

Didn't that Geroge Michael video, What was the name....??? Have 80s models in it??  Maybe it was a 90s hit? ::)

It was 90's. It's called "Freedom 90" or something like that. It's been a long time since I've seen it. I have a feeling someone else will end up giving us a little more detail on it later. They may even list all of the models in it.
The ones I remember:
Cindy Crawford
Vendela
Naomi Campbell

You're thinking of Mark Metcalfe, and if you've ever seen him in "Better Off Dead," you'd probably notice he looked a lot like Vincent Price.

Curiosity got the better of me last night and I had to watch it again (like thats a bad thing? ;)), I didn't even see his name in the credits.  Skuz, where is he supposed to be? ???

yep, Neidermeyer was the cranky rich guy lobster hunter in ONe crazy summer... i think that's what they must mean...!

Quoting:
I just thought of that yesterday.  I was talking about another Cusak movie and my wife says "the one with Demi Moore?"  and I said, "no, that's One Crazy Summer, with Bobcat, and Neidermeyer...THAT'S IT! That's what he was talking about!"  Of course, she had no clue as to what I rambling about and politely walked away.  ::)

At least the Better Off Dead mystery is solved.   :)

I am glad it is solved, that was bugging me.  I was almost ready to go through the credits again....maybe I'll watch it again anyway. ;D

Sorry, people. I don't know why I got those two titles mixed-up. It WAS "One Crazy Summer," but at least you all know he was in a Savage Steve Holland production. Once I saw a poster for an unmade sequel to that movie called "Another Crazy Summer." Is anybody familiar with it?

Well, they both had the whole animated "cute and fuzzy bunny things", didn't they? I can see how those 2 can be confusable (is that a word??) ... hmmm, but I'm thinking... anyone see the Stone Temple Pilot's video for "Sour Girl"? are those supposed to be the cute and fuzzy bunnies that we see taunting scot about his lover leaving???? they look like them, though those costumes (from the video) are actually kinda scary....

anyway, has anyone else had that thought?

Anyway, getting back to the subject, did anybody recognize Lara Flynn Boyle in the Def Leppard video "Foolin'?"

At least that who I heard it was.

I'm sorry to say it wasn't. She would have been too young then. She started her show business career in 1987 as a kid.

How about "Ghostbusters" ?  Does that count?  There were too many celebrities to name in that one..though I guess they were all famous by then...

I do remember there being quite a few celebrities in that video.  Melissa Gilbert was one of them, but the others escape me.  :)

I don't know if it's true or not, but I heard that the girl who played Michael Jackson's girlfriend in the "Thriller" video was a former Playboy centerfold.   :-/

For what it's worth, that is true.  I think her name was Ola Ray or something like that..in any case, my friend's father got Playboy, and though I never actually looked at the layout (gosh, why ever not?  ::) ) I remember him talking about it.  Pretty sure it was Playboy anyway..to me, it was just really weird that at 12-13 years old, her married father got a magazine like that at all....
What can I say, I guess I led a rather sheltered life..LOL!  :-/

Thanks!  I used to know stuff like that well, back in the day. :-[   (Is that what they mean by "use it or lose it?"  ;) ) I just joined the board, so I'm expecting all the details to come crashing back within a matter of weeks.

Quoting:
Shannen Doherty (from Beverly Hills 90210) was in one of Slaughter's videos.  I can't recall which one right now..pathetic really...You Are The One maybe??..She's like a model/actress or something and all I remember is her staring pathetically into the mirror while the song plays.  I always hated her, and always LOVED Slaughter (especially Mark!!  Oooh...don't get me started!  :P) So in any case I was bummed to see her in it.  BUT, she was, nonetheless!!

It was the "Real Love" video.  :)

Anyway, this started my train of thought down this track: how many 80s videos can you remember that featured cameo appearances by the famous? I remember Danny Aiello being in "Papa Don't Preach" as well...
