Every decade gives us new faces and fads to follow. But for many people across the globe, few have as many iconic stars as the ’80s.
After all, the ’80s gave us such Hollywood stars as Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks, but there were so many more actors that were at the time the idols we all pinned up on the wall.
Where are they now? Let’s take a look at some of our favorite stars from the ’80s and what they are up to today.
40. Christina Applegate
If you grew up in the ’80s and ’90s, there were tons of great TV shows. But one of the most popular and quintessential shows was Married… With Children. The show was one of the longest-running shows, getting a generous 10 seasons. And one of the main reasons this happened was because of Christina Applegate’s character.
Though she would step back for a little bit, eventually she found her way back in front of the camera. She played roles in films like Anchorman and Bad Moms. Recently she has been starring in her hit television show, Dead To Me.
39. C. Thomas Howell
C. Thomas Howell made his debut early in the ’80s in one of the decade’s biggest films and one of Hollywood’s most classic films of all time… E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial. After that, he would go on to be one of the decade’s most in-demand young actors. The actor would go on to star in other iconic films like The Outsiders, Red Dawn, and The Hitcher.
He also would go on to star in a movie that built up quite a bit of controversy. This film was Soul Man. After that film, his career took a little bit of a downturn. But even still, he has continued acting to this day.
