Tom Cruise – Top Gun

It’s no wonder that Tom Cruise ranks among the highest-paid actors globally. His portrayal of Ethan Hunt in the renowned Mission: Impossible series has certainly been a significant factor in his success. However, the three-time Golden Globe winner also owes his achievements to his early days in the ’80s.

Cruise became notable as a young, attractive, and talented actor after starring in “Risky Business” and “Top Gun.” In 2018, he added to the Mission: Impossible series by releasing the movie “Mission: Impossible—Fallout.”

Demi Moore – St. Elmo’s Fire

The 1980s were incredibly prosperous for Demi Moore. Why? She was one of Hollywood’s top-earning actresses at the time. With her exceptional acting skills and stunning appearance, Moore established herself as one of the iconic female figures of the decade.

After her film debut in 1981, she attracted significant attention by starring in movies like “St. Elmo’s Fire” and “About Last Night.” However, it was the 1990 film “Ghost” that made a real impact, becoming the highest-grossing movie of that year. She continues to shine in the 21st century, appearing in the 2020 film “Songbird.”
