I bet you haven't thought of these faces in a while.

Phoebe Cates starred in a string of huge hits in the '80s and early '90s, including Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Gremlins, Gremlins 2: The New Batch, and Drop Dead Fred. After 1994's Princess Caraboo, which she starred in with her husband, Kevin Kline, she retired from acting to focus on raising her two kids, though she appeared in The Anniversary Party in 2001 as a favor to the director, her friend Jennifer Jason Leigh. In 2005, she opened a boutique called Blue Tree in New York, which she still appears to run.

Judge Reinhold also starred in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, as well as the Beverly Hills Cop franchise and, in the '90s and '00s, the Santa Clause movies. He has said that after starring in the box office flop Vice Versa in the late '80s, his career slowed down (and not by choice). In 2024, he reprised his role in Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F.

Jeff Cohen was a child star in the '80s, best known for his iconic turn as Chunk in The Goonies. His last acting role was in 1991 in TV movie Perfect Harmony. He studied law at UCLA and is now an entertainment lawyer, and even represented former The Goonies co-star Ke Huy Quan in his contract negotiations for Everything Everywhere All at Once.

Toni Basil's song "Mickey" was a huge smash in the '80s and remains iconic, being sampled in several songs, including the recent hit "APT" by Rosé and Bruno Mars. Toni's main focus was always dancing, and she's spent much of her career in that field, working as a teacher and choreographer.

Kelly McGillis is best known for her roles in Witness, Top Gun, and The Accused. She continued acting after the '80s, but was not in the spotlight as much, especially as she shifted primarily to working in TV movies while also focusing on getting sober and raising her kids. Over the years, she has also spent time running a bar, working in a rehab center, and teaching acting. She came out as a lesbian in 2009. Her most recent onscreen role appears to be a small part in Dirty John in 2020.

Philip Michael Thomas was acting in the '70s but really shot to fame in the '80s, starring in Miami Vice; he also released his own music and coined the term EGOT by declaring he would achieve it (unfortunately, he still has not). In the '90s, he became a spokesperson for the Psychic Reader's Network, and in the early '00s, he voiced Lance Vance in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City. He now seems to be retired.

Mia Sara starred in Legend and Ferris Bueller's Day Off in the '80s and continued to take on some acting roles throughout the '90s and '00s, but stopped acting in 2013 — until Mike Flanagan convinced her to make a comeback in his movie The Life of Chuck. She is also a mother, a poet, and married to Brian Henson.

Justin Batemen is most known for her role as eldest Keaton daughter Mallory on classic sitcom Family Ties. She continued acting in the '90s and '00s, notably in Men Behaving Badly, Arrested Development, Men in Trees, and Desperate Housewives. More recently, she has focused on writing, producing and directing, as well as anti-AI activism.

Steve Guttenberg had several high-profile roles in the '80s in movies like Cocoon, Three Men and a Baby, Short Circuit, and the Police Academy series. He continued acting over the years and appeared on Season 6 of Dancing with the Stars. In the late 2010s and early 2020s, he primarily dedicated himself to being a caregiver for his father.

Bo Derek became famous in the late '70s, particularly when she appeared in 1979's 10, but it was the '80s when she cemented herself as a pop culture icon, especially in the movie Tarzan, the Ape Man. She has continued to act over the years, but seems to focus more on activism and a quiet life on her ranch, where she lives with her husband, John Corbett.

Jennifer Beals is best known for her starring role in the '80s classic Flashdance. After working on the movie, she went back to studying American Literature at Yale, graduating in 1987. She returned to acting and has worked steadily through the years, including roles in Devil in a Blue Dress, The L Word, and The L Word: Generation Q. She's also a photographer.

Rick Moranis was a comedy fixture in the '80s, starring in Second City Television, the Ghostbusters movies, Little Shop of Horrors, Spaceballs, and Honey, I Shrunk The Kids. He was still a star in the '90s, notably acting in the Honey, I Shrunk the Kids sequels as well as The Flintstones and Little Giants, but he was working less and less after the death of his wife, costume designer Ann Belsky, in 1991. By 1997, he had largely stopped acting altogether, focusing on raising his kids, something he told The Hollywood Reporter gives him "absolutely no regrets whatsoever". He did continue doing some voice work, commercials, and writing, and said he was still open to acting but chose to be "picky" — which bodes well for Spaceballs 2, set to be released in 2027, as he's officially returning for the movie — his first live-action role in 20 years.

Known mononymously as Tiffany, the '80s pop princess is best known for her hit song "I Think We're Alone Now", which received fresh attention in recent years thanks to the soundtracks for The Umbrella Academy and Stranger Things. Tiffany continued to release music in the '90s and '00s, but without the same heights of success. She still performs live on occasion and also runs a boutique in Nashville.

Jami Gertz had some prominent roles in the '80s, such as on the TV series Square Pegs and in movies like Sixteen Candles, The Lost Boys, and Less Than Zero. She continued acting, appearing in supporting roles in movies like Twister and shows like Seinfeld in the '90s, and later starring in sitcoms like Still Standing and The Neighbors. Although she's not as famous as she was in the '80s, she's now a billionaire after marrying banker Tony Ressler and collaborating with him on several business ventures, including owning the NBA's Atlanta Hawks, which has been her main focus in the past decade.

The Australian comedian was huge in the '80s, breaking through internationally in a series of iconic Australian tourism ads ("shrimp on the barbie," anyone?) as well as Crocodile Dundee and its sequel Crocodile Dundee II. His success didn't really translate to consistent creative work, though — he's only appeared in nine movies since the '80s, two of which were Dundee sequels or spin-offs. When he received an award for "outstanding contribution to the Australian screen" from the AACTAs in 2016, he joked he was a "huge one-hit wonder".

Judd Nelson was an '80s heartthrob after starring in The Breakfast Club and then St. Elmo's Fire. He has continued to act over the years, perhaps best known after the '80s for his role in the '90s sitcom Suddenly Susan, but he has kept a much lower profile since turning his back on "The Brat Pack".

Mr. T became a celeb in the '80s after Sylvester Stallone discovered him in an "America's Toughest Bouncer" competition and gave him a scene-stealing role in Rocky III, leading to many other roles, including in the hit series The A-Team. In the '90s and beyond, he continued to do some acting but primarily took on endorsements and commercials. He also participated in Season 24 of Dancing with the Stars in 2017.
