The Brightest Stars Of The ’80s And Where They Ended Up

Elisabeth Shue – 60

She was so eager to become an actress, that one semester shy of completing her studies at Harvard University in 1985, Elisabeth Shue withdrew to begin a career in acting. She was seen in various productions which included the Back to the Future franchise, Adventures in Babysitting, and The Karate Kid. Shue didn’t just leave her higher studies hanging though. In 2000, she returned to Harvard to earn a B.A. in Political Science. In the movies Death Wish in 2018 and Battle of the S**** in 2017, she was cast as a supporting character.

Sophia Loren – 87

Sofia Scicolone, who goes by the name Sophia Loren professionally, is one of the most celebrated Italian actresses from the Golden Age of Hollywood and one of the last of them still alive. She appeared in many classic movies including Two Women, Marriage Italian Style, and A Special Day. The multi-award-winning Loren is now 87 years old and still likes to playfully fake being 15 years younger, because why not? Enjoying her semi-retired life, Loren recently stated that she prefers to exercise and eat clean to enjoy a tranquil life. She released her memoir Yesterday, Today, Tomorrow: My Life in 2014.

Barbara Eden – 88

Barbara Eden is most recognized for the situation comedy I Dream of Jeannie in which she played Jeannie. Eden’s biography Jeannie Out of a Bottle published in 2011 talked about her personal and professional experiences.

Were you shocked at how great she looks? She’s in her late 80s, the epitome of anti-aging, and is looking so fab and without the bad habits either. In ’88, she got her own star of the Walk of Fame in Hollywood. When Worst Cooks in America had its celebrity version in 2016, she was on it as herself.

Victoria Principal – 69

You probably remember Victoria Principal from her time on Dallas, the iconic TV series where she appeared for nine years. After portraying Pamela Ewing, Principal founded her own production company called Principal Productions, while she also created her own line of beauty products. However, her business plan was even more ambitious, and she also wrote three publications regarding beauty and staying in shape. In 2018, she revealed that she was working on the fourth one. Principal uses much of her $250-million fortune for humanitarian causes, while she also owns a ranch where she takes care of neglected and abused animals.

Samantha Fox – 57

Samantha Fox found fame at sixteen years old, for her appearance bare-chested on The Sun tabloid. In the ’80s, Fox’s photo-shoots made her a British glamour model. After a time, she ended up branching off into a career in entertainment – acting and singing.

Not all the attention Fox received was good though. There was a time when $1 million of her pay disappeared and it led to an ugly case where Fox sued her father, with the ordeal ending in a settlement. After that, there was the fact that her marriage to Myra Stratton was not well received. Her bra was later donated to a fundraiser that generated lost of cash.
