You can find all 334 listed on this website http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000222/filmoyear. Harpers Bazaar listed Brooke Shields as Americas Top 10 Most Beautiful Women twice. The first time in 1981 and the second time in 1988.

Brooke Shields also was featured in Playboy Magazine in 1986. Brooke is a famous model and Author. Brooke's most current show, "Lipstick Jungle" was just canceled the end of March 2009. Will this be the end of Brooke's acting career? Will her husband Chris Henchy; Actor, Writer, and Producer keep the screens burning while Brooke stays at home and plays full time mommy for their two children (one son and one daughter)? Only time will tell.

There is no end when it comes to talent for this 80's babe. Of course like many other super stars, this sexy performer also appeared in playboy in 1985. Madonna is best known for her music, with 6562 records in her discography it is no wonder that this sexy and talented woman was inducted into the Rock-N-Roll hall of fame in 2008.

Many people do not know that music is just one of Madonna's many talents. Madonna has also been an actress and an Author. As an actress Madonna has appeared in over 122 television shows and movies combined. In 1996, Madonna won the Golden Globe Award for best Actress in Evita. Performing on stage is not the only talent Madonna has. Madonna has written nine books, which include five children's books.

In 2009 Madonna is a very busy woman. She is preparing for her upcoming tour, "Sticky and Sweet" that will begin in July. Madonna divorced in January of 2009 and has three children, which include two sons and one daughter. She is currently appealing to a court decision in an attempt to adopt a little Malawian girl named Mercy.

Punky Brewster this little actress with the big brown eyes stole the hearts of many in the 80's. Who played Punky Brewster and whatever happened to her, you ask? Actress Soleil Moon Frye is the owner of those big brown eyes that melted hearts. Sexy and Sweet Soleil Moon Frye has been an actress, since she was two years old. Rest assured this 80's babe career did not end after the series Punky Brewster ended in 1986. Soleil graced us with her beauty in the 90's and the 2000's as well. As an actress, Soleil has acted in 45 television shows and movies combined. Soleil is also a director and writer.

This flash dancing 80's babe won a golden globe award in 1984 for her performance in flash dance. Jennifer continued her actressing career through the years and is still an excellent actress today. Jennifer Beals has played a role in 59 Television shows and Movies combined, many of them were long-term television series. An amazing feature about this hot 80's babe is that many people including myself feels that she is hotter today than she was in the 80's.

In the last few years, Jennifer played a lesbian named Bette Porter in Showtime's series, "The L Word," for six seasons. Before you go jumping to conclusions, Jennifer Beals is married to Entrepreneur Ken Dixon, they have one daughter together, and Ken has two children from a previous marriage.
