Why isn't Brooke Shields on the list? http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/09/scared.gif I think that she was gorgeous in the 80s. And a great actress.

Rae Dawn Chong .. very nice indeed!  And you know what's weird?  When I think of hot Canadian Actresses in the 80s, Rae Dawn Chong is the only one that springs to mind.  There are others, but I am totally drawing a blank :-[

HEY SNOZBERRIES MISSED YA !!! The Degrassi chick did she look similar to Rae Dawn, I think I saw her in a commercial not too long ago... Can we put Lisa Bonet in as an 80s actress? She was very popular for a while. Remember the movie she did that ruined her wholesome Cosby image?

WHERE THE HECK HAVE YA BEEN?


I can't believe I mentioned an actress from Degrassi and it wasn't Anais Granofsky... I loved her.  I didn't see a whole lot of young black women on TV in the 80s really just Tootie... so I was totally in awe of "Lucy".  Kinda jealous too cuz she had better hair! (Still does) I haven't seen that commercial but that reminds me... Erica Gimpel from Fame... I loved her! She was gorgeous too. I have seen her in small roles and in commercials over the years.

I remember Angel Heart- I never fully understood it but I thought it was pretty snobbish of Bill to judge Lisa for making artistic choices when she was on hiatus from the Cosby Show. She's an actress- not Denise Huxtable so whatever character she plays should have no bearing on what the audience thinks about Denise. It reminds me of the old school way of thinking - like when Mary Tyler Moore's character Mary Richards couldn't be a widow because people would confuse her with an earlier character Laura Petrie and think that Rob had died... the audience just isn't that stupid...okay well a select few are but really!

Then again Lisa Bonet did get preggers and you know... that could have reflected poorly on Denise cuz that would have been harder to separate reality from fiction... we would want to imply that College Freshmen have sex in the dorms now would we?  :o  ::)  :-X




Subject: Re: Who is prettiest 80s actress ?

Written By: lemonverbina on 11/19/07 at 9:11 am

Wow you bring up some great points. Nowadays they would have no problem with making Denise Huxtable a pregnant college freshman and they would chronicle the struggles of her pregnancy. Of course Bill Cosby would have nothing to do with it..lol.
But you know tying the character to the person has been going on in Hollywood forever...even Jessica Biel ran into some trouble for comments she made to a teen magazine while she was still playing Mary Camden on Seventh Heaven.

Subject: Re: Who is prettiest 80s actress ?

Written By: snozberries on 11/19/07 at 8:55 pm

True I forgot about the Jessica Biel thing...

I wonder what would've happened in the 80's if Molly Ringwald, Demi Moore and Ally Sheedy were doing the Lindsay, Brittney, Paris thing.  I mean I know a lot of those teens were snorting coke in the bathrooms but they still managed to act responsible in public. It kinda started with bad girl Shannen Doherty who got into a few fights in the clubs but we are at an all time low in terms of stars and their image.

I recall all my male friends were mad about Lysette Anthony. Not sure how well known she was in the U.S in the 80's but she was a big star in the U.K at the time.

Definitely Sean Young. Should have been a major star, but her ego was just a bit too inflated and she was brought back down to earth.

I am so sorry, but I can't pick just one :D. 

Michelle Pfeifer- well she is beautiful, but I just would like to comment that I have not seen her in a motion picture in years. 

Sigourney Weaver- Well you just can't go wrong with her.  I love her eyes and athletic body. I love her the most in Ghost Busters but if you ever get the chance to see her in a 9/11 fire fighters tribute movie called The Guys please take it because her performance is wonderful. 

Geena Davis- I've always loved her cascading red hair. 

Andie McDowell- just like with Geena; it is all about the hair. I have always been attracted to curly haired brunettes because of her...Groundhog Day Baby!

She looks like Alexis Bledell from "Gilmore Girls" fame a little bit.

Out of this list I would have to say Andie McDowell is the hottest out of the them all. She's still beautiful and I love my dark haired brunettes!

I'm rather shocked that I was the first one to vote for Daryl HannaH. She's a gorgeous actress to be sure, but I figured she'd have gotten a little more attention here 'cause of her nearly-naked scenes in Splash and Roxanne !
