Soleil Moon Frye – Punky Brewster

It’s always delightful to see how your favorite child actress has grown over the years. If you remember Soleil Moon Frye from the ’80s, you might be excited to know that she played the iconic role of Penelope “Punky” Brewster in the series “Punky Brewster,” a character beloved by children back then.

Frye is no longer the cuddly Punky Brewster of her youth, but she’s still as lovable as ever. She reprised her role as Penelope in 2021, this time as an adult. The new series reboot premiered in February 2021.

Tony Danza – Taxi

Acting is just one of Tony Danza’s many talents. Tap dancing and boxing are also among his skills. Quite unique, right? He made sure to utilize all his abilities to build a successful entertainment career for himself.

You might have seen the sitcom “Taxi,” which aired during the early ’80s. Danza played the role of a rather incompetent boxer in the series. However, contrary to the character, he was actually a decent boxer in real life—nine wins in the ring are no fluke! In 2020, he appeared in a series titled “Outmatched.”
