Julia Roberts – Steel Magnolias

I love Julia Roberts. She’s one of the most prominent actresses of her generation. The ’80s and ’90s were filled with emerging stars. Roberts became famous in the ’90s with her role in Pretty Woman.

She also starred in impressive late ’80s movies like Steel Magnolias and Mystic Pizza. She has aged well and continued to star in major projects, such as the 2021 series Gaslit.

Nicole Kidman – Dead Calm

Nicole Kidman is rich. Not many actresses can say they’ve been twice listed by Time as one of the world’s most influential people and ranked by The New York Times as one of the 21st century’s greatest actors. Kidman wasn’t as influential in the ’80s as in the 21st century, but she was still being discovered.

Her most notable film during that period was the thriller Dead Calm, which also starred Sam Neil from Jurassic Park. She rarely gets off her busy schedule. In 2021, she appeared in a miniseries titled Nine Perfect Strangers.

Samantha Fox

Many college and high school students in the ’80s had pictures of Samantha Fox on their walls. She was the most in-demand model of her Time and one of the most photographed British models of the ’80s.

Fox was known for her glamour modeling in magazines like The Sun. She used her fame to start a music career. She released three top-ten singles. In 2018, she released the music video for her single “Hot Boy.”

Michelle Pfeiffer – The Witches of Eastwick

Michelle Pfeiffer is a talented actress who broke away from the blonde bombshell stereotype. A Golden Globe and three Oscar nominations prove it. She’ll always be remembered for her roles in Scarface and The Witches of Eastwick.

Pfeiffer was one of the highest-paid actresses of the ’90s. She’s been successful in the 21st century thanks to her roles in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the 2020 movie “French Exit.”

Victoria Principal – Dallas

Many people watched episodes of the popular soap opera Dallas in the ’80s and ’90s. If you know her, you know Victoria Principal. She played Pamela Barnes Ewing on the show for nine years until she left in 1987 to start her own business.

She started a skincare brand called Principal Secret, and a movie production company called Victoria Principal Productions. Since then, Principal has been rarely seen in movies, except for a 2004 Dallas reunion special.

Bo Derek

One of the most iconic ’80s movie scenes was “10,” where Bo Derek ran in a nude swimsuit. The movie was released in 1979, but its influence lasted into the next decade, making Bo Derek one of the most attractive actresses in the industry.

She also became a model and appeared in Playboy at least five times. Derek has stayed in the industry. In 2021, she starred in a short movie called “John Bronco Rides Again.”

Helena Bonham Carter – Miami Vice

Helena Bonham Carter is a unique actress. The Oscar nominee is known for her style and unusual characters. Carter was also popular in the ’80s.

She appeared in some episodes of Miami Vice from 1986 to 1987 and became a world-famous star when she appeared in the Harry Potter franchise. Talented people find roles easily. She was in The Cleaner in 2021.
