The Greatest 80s Stars: Where are they today?

Salma Hayek

Salma Hayek first came to public attention for her role as Antonio Banderas' love interest in Robert Rodriguez's explosive action film, Desperado. But this Mexican-American legend found fame on the big screen after starring in Frida. Salma Hayek and her husband are worth a jaw-dropping $26 billion and they currently live in LA with her little brother, and Salma is still acting. Hayek was one of the major contributors to the #MeToo movement when she accused Frida producer Harvey Weinstein of threatening her.

Kristy McNichol

Christina ‘Kristy’ McNichol is probably best remembered for her portrayal of the teenager, Letitia “Buddy” Lawrence, in the TV drama Family, one of the most-watched television shows at the time, for which she actually won two Emmy Awards! Before McNichol had her career in full gear, she was in the limelight already by appearing in a number of commercials, where she did great work that led her to acting opportunities, as well as increasing her bank account. Kristy actually had guest appearances in series like Starsky and Hutch, The Bionic Woman, The Love Boat, amongst others, before she made a name for herself with Family. In 1980 McNichol got her first break in film with Little Darlings, where she made such a good impression that even the critics who didn’t like the film, gave her performance high acclaim. In 1981 she was again nominated for an award for her role as Polly in Only When I Laugh, this time for a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress. In 2001 she decided to give acting a rest, saying that she needed the time for her personal happiness and well-being.
