My wife and I were trying to figure out actors that were up and coming or popular during the 80's who are now legitimate stars today.

Here is what I came up with:

Diane Lane = "Cherry" from the Outsiders
John Cusack = B.O.D (the best 80's movie in my oinion)
Brad Pitt = Growing Pains
Jamie Foxx = In Living Color
Tom Cruise = Risky Business
Anthony Edwards = Fast Times
George Clooney = cannot remember the sitcom
Kevin Bacon = Footloose
Sean Penn = At Close Range

What about Meg Ryan does she qualify?

I would think she would. As well as Demi Moore.

Don't forget E/R.  He played Ace.  The show starred Elliot Gould.

How about Brooke Shields?  I loved her then and still adore her.  She guest stars still on that 70's show and I'm with her, but the latter I believe was canceled.  I still remember playing with my friend's Brooke Shields doll, and have even looked it up on ebay, lol.  Courtney Thorne Smith (she was in a movie about summer school in the 80's and then in the 90's was in Melrose Place of course(made her famous) and then is staring today on a show with Belushi where she's got 2 daughters,  I don't watch it.  Salma Hayek was also in that summer school movie and so was Halle Berry I believe.  And so was Keirstie Allie but she's not going so strong these days Pier 1 gave her the boot for the queer eye for the straight guy rep. 

By the way HI my eighties folk, I haven't introduced myself formally, I'll have to find that thread and do that :)

George Clooney was on the Facts of Life when Blair, Joe, Natalie and Tootie had that really cool store that sold gadgety novlety items.  I still remember the neon light sign in the store and the bolwn up palm tree.  Fun thread.

ooops! I saw that rubixgirl already set the record straight about the George Clooney mystery.  Yeah I remember also seeing him on roseanne, he dated the sister maybe?

Brooke Sheilds has to be in her 40's and she still looks as good as she used to be. :o

I was going to mention this show.  I used to love it.  I thought he was good looking even then.

The girl looks alot like Selma Hayek but its actually Fabiana Udenio (she also played Alotta Fagina in Austin Powers). Halle Berry wasn't in summer school but Kelly Jo Minter.  :)

Hello Wendy!  :D

Get registered and then introduce yourself on the 'Welcome new users to the colony' section (if you haven't already) and we will give you a grand welcome.  :)

Hey again, here's the thing Bobby I registered yesterday as 'hysteric et vous', and I can't seem to activate my code thing :(  I checked my email adress for accuracy and they said that they reactivated it and sent me it again in my email but nothing comes to me.  I have no idea, so it looks as though I have to stay as a guest I guess :(  I wanna really be here though as a member.  Anyone know anything about faulty registrations like I'm having?  I really really LOVE the 80's!  Although I'm pretty content with my current lifestyle and the 80's weren't any better or worse for me I have a major pull towards this decade.  The time of my innocence, lack of responsibility, my fashion awakening, lol.  On that note,  I even added some 'jappy' 80's brands to the informational home page regarding 80's clothes and none of them came up.  The screen name I chose 'hysteric et vous' was a brand I was nuts about. Totally can't find it on ebay. Any other 80's japs out there? hee hee.  Looks like this site has a lot of guys on it, not that there's anything wrong with that ;) ahem I am married and told my dh about the predominance of men at the site and if he minded me talking to them, and 'he' said, what straight guy likes the 80's? hmph! Again not that there's anything wrong with that, lol!.  My son's teacher is gay and we love him :)  And well I'm not going to go on in that vein as I feel myself on the verge of babbling if I haven't already been that is :p  By the way dh is foreign so unfortunately we don't share the same 'history' in terms of our memories, he came here as a teenager in 1989, poor guy missed our 80's! 

The first one...International Man of Mystery


Was her name Allota Vagina?  ;D

What about David Hasselhoff and his perennial popularity in Europe?

KNIGHT RIDER MOVIE DUE OUT IN 2005
It will indeed star D.H., and is directed by Chinese actor Sammo Hung (Sammo Hung Kam-Bo), who's been in dozens of karate flicks.  He was in "Around the World in 80 Days" with Jackie Chan.

Morgan Freeman is still way popular these days and he's making movie after movie. :o



Howard

Hannibal Lechter-aka Anthony Hopkins.

Sarah Jessica Parkerin Footloose and Girls just wanna have fun :D

How about Eddie Murphy?  He seems to be just as popular today as he was 20 years ago.

I forgot Drew Barrymore in E.T.

Pam Grier still as hot as she was 30 years but now stars in The L Word on Showtime.
