Tiffani Amber Thiessen – Saved by the Bell

A young Tiffani Amber Thiessen began her entertainment career as a model in the ’80s. With her appealing looks, she quickly achieved success in that field and went on to become Miss Junior America in 1987. Her modeling success led to her first television role on the NBC sitcom “Saved by the Bell.”

Thiessen portrayed Kelly Kapowski on the show, and while she’s appeared in several other series since then, this remains one of her most iconic characters. To the delight of “Saved by the Bell” fans, she reprised her role as Kelly Kapowski in the series’ 2020 revival.

Julia Roberts – Steel Magnolias

It’s difficult not to adore Julia Roberts. She’s undeniably one of the standout actresses of her generation, especially considering the surge of emerging stars in the ’80s and ’90s. Roberts gained immense fame in the early ’90s with her iconic role in “Pretty Woman.”

However, it’s essential to acknowledge her remarkable late ’80s films—remember “Steel Magnolias” and “Mystic Pizza”? Demonstrating her talent, she’s not only aged gracefully but has also continued to shine in major projects, like the 2021 series “Gaslit.”
