Here’s What Your Favorite 80s Stars Look Like Now
Jennifer Connelly
Connelly was featured on movie screens in Once Upon a Time in America and Labyrinth. She’s still very beautiful and works as an actress while fighting for human rights advocacy.
Linda Hamilton
Linda Hamilton was ahead of her time, as she was a no-nonsense action star in the Terminator series when most female characters still required rescuing from men. Hamilton is still an active performer, although she has enjoyed her role as a mother more than anything.
Glenn Close
Glenn scared many a man with her performance in Fatal Attraction, and has gone on to put together quite an acting career. She even played a very prominent role in 2014’s Guardians of the Galaxy.
Jennifer Grey
Patrick Swayze famously declared, “Nobody puts Baby in a corner!” in Dirty Dancing, but actress Jennifer Grey’s unusually low profile since the 1987 film left many fans wondering where she did go. It was a dramatic “nose job from hell” that meant that her star faded and her burgeoning career took a very different path. Jennifer famously had surgery in the early ’90s, an operation that left her unrecognizable and has been accused of affecting her career. “I went into the operating room a celebrity and came out anonymous,” she told The Mirror in 2012. “It was the nose job from hell. I’ll always be this once-famous actress nobody recognizes because of a nose job.”
Bo Derek
The original perfect 10 was never known for her acting skill, but was one of the leading ladies of the 80s regardless of her talent level. Bo is content to stay on the sidelines of the entertainment business these days, but is still recognizable as the 80s bombshell everyone fawned over.
