The brightest stars of the ’80s: Would you recognize them today?

Brooke Shields, Strong Married

Brooke Shields began her career as a model for children. She gained attention when, at age 12, she starred in the 1978 movie Pretty Baby. She starred later in hit movies like The Blue LagoonEndless Love. She will not need to hire a child-support attorney, as her kids are lucky enough to have happy married parents. She is happily married to Chris Henchy and things have been going well so far.

Mindy Cohn: Your average school girl

Mindy Cohn’s first Hollywood gig is amazing. You could almost say it was fate that shaped her future! Take a look back at 1979 when Charlotte Rae visited Westlake School in order to observe how girls went about their everyday lives. Cohn was a great person with a good sense of humor. It was decided without a doubt that Natalie would be the new host of Facts of Life. Cohn was able to enjoy a comfortable life as an actress by guest-starring on other shows, such as The Secret Life of the American Teenager.
