My Favorite 1980s Actresses

items The 1980s is my favorite movie era. Here are some delightful actresses who starred in my favorite films back then.
She was in War Games in 1983 and The Breakfast Club in 1985. Two of my favorite 80s films! She was also in St. Elmo's Fire in 1985 as well. I really enjoyed her performances.
Ally Sheedy

I first noticed her in “St. Elmo's Fire” in 1985. She has been a very hard working actress, acting in a movie almost every year since! She often is a supporting character, not the star, but I always look forward to watching her when she's in somethin...
Mare Winningham
I first saw Molly Ringwald in ‘Diff’rent Strokes," a show my brother and I enjoyed watching. I adored her in the classic 1980s John Hughes movies - 16 Candles, The Breakfast Club, and Pretty in Pink. I'm her same age, and I've enjoyed watching her gr...

I'm straight, but I always thought Mary Stuart Masterson was so pretty. I enjoyed her performance in “Some Kind of Wonderful” and have watched it many times. She always has a cute short haircut. I loved her 1990s films “Benny and Joon” which I rewatc...
Mary Stuart Masterson
This lovely actress starred in her own series eventually, "Caroline in the City"." But I first enjoyed her roles in films like Red Dawn, Back to the Future, Howard the Duck, and Some Kind of Wonderful.
Lea Thompson
Joan Cusack is quirky, funny, self deprecating, warm and witty. She had brief roles in 1980s teen movies (Sixteen Candles, Say Anything) where I felt like she stole the show! She's been a hard working actress in both film and television. I love her u...

My first time I remember watching Jodie Foster in a film was “Candleshoe," which we watched on a Sunday night on “The Wonderful World of Disney.” I've seen all of her films (Silence of the Lambs being my favorite) and sometimes rewatch some of her pe...
Jodie Foster
Here's a unique beauty with dimples and an endearing smile. Her 1980s movies include interesting role choices in Beetlejuice, The Fly, Coma, Earth Girls Are Easy, and Tootsie.
Geena Davis
Her 1980s films included Ghostbusters, Ghostbusters 2, Alien and Aliens. I loved her strength and toughness in the Alien films, and her cheesy sense of humor in the Ghostbusters films. I think she's incredibly beautiful, and the interviews I've watch...
Sigourney Weaver
Michelle Pfeiffer won audiences over in Grease in 1982 (not my favorite film). She continued to star in Scarface, Witches of Eastwick, and Tequila Sunrise. She was luminous in Dangerous Liaisons, one of my favorite films ever. You also might remember...
