    Go to YOUTUBE and watch the episode of the HBO show DREAM ON with Adrienne. She's still a hottie.

    I always thought Stephanie Zimbalist was very pretty in REMINGTON STEELE. Not in a bombshell sort of way, but very pretty.

    I always thought Lisa Hartman was hot.. She faded away after she married Clint Black.

    Which is probably why they are still married. If you think about it, it seems the only celebrity marriages that last are the ones where one of them puts their career on hold.

    Karnak "81, 82, 83, 84..."

    For a 70s look at Kay, see "Breezy"(1973), directed by Clint Eastwood. It may be dated, but I like it.
    My favorite Kay Lenz 80s appearance is in the Rod Stewart video 'Infatuation'. It also features Mike Mazurki, an 'old Hollywood' alumnus("Murder, My Sweet", "The Egyptian").
    Lenz also appeared in the 80s film "House" which I remember being released but have never seen.

    Sorry for the hijack, but I'm not up on anyone new, I prefer the classic looks, Lauren Bacall, Veronica Lake, Natalie Wood, hell even Yvonne De Carlo or.......................

    I thought Diane Franklin (Amityville II, Better Off Dead, The Last American Virgin, Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure) was gorgeous.

    I heard the bipolar really knocked her down--it was very traumatic. I never heard that she was a speaker. She became a near hermit, very happy in a quiet life and talking a regimen of drugs to keep her straight.

    Yes, but someone had mad an earlier mention of Adrienne Barbeau, and that was the reason for posting about DREAM ON.

    Yeah, but 1992 is hardly "still". She WAS still hot in 1992. That has little to do with whether she still IS hot. I bet she is!

    Mia Sara played Harley Quinn in the short-lived tv series Birds of Prey about 10 years ago or so. It was loosely based on the DC Comics series.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diane_Franklin

    Diane DeLaurentis better known professionally as Diane Franklin (born February 11, 1962) is an American actress.

    Career
    Perhaps Franklin's best known role is in the 1985 comedy film Better Off Deadas Monique, the foreign exchange student from France; she's also notable as one of the Princesses in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. Other well-known parts include her first in the 1982 film The Last American Virgin as Karen and the 1982 horror film Amityville II: The Possession as Patricia Montelli. Television roles include Bay City Blues, Matlock, and Freddy's Nightmares.

    During pre-production of the 1984 film Amadeus, Franklin was flown to Prague for a week of auditions in competition with Elizabeth Berridge, who was eventually given the part in question. As Berridge tells it, Franklin was "too pretty" to play the part (of an innkeeper's daughter)[1]

    Earlier in her career Franklin appeared in TV commercials for Coca-Cola,Trident, Jell-O, and Maxwell House coffee.

    Franklin has taken frequent breaks in her career which span from 1982-1991, 1999-2000, and 2006-Present, she took an 8 year break from acting in 1991 and didn't act until 1999 in TV shows Family Law, and Providence and took another long break, lasting 6 years, until restarting her career with the movie Punchcard Player and later acting in short films.

    In 2012 Franklin published a memoir, Diane Franklin: The Excellent Adventures of the Last American, French Exchange Babe of the 80s through Amazon.

    Personal life
    Franklin is married to writer and producer Ray DeLaurentis and has two children with him, a daughter named Olivia DeLaurentis, and a son named Nicholas DeLaurentis. In addition to her feature-length filmography, Franklin has also acted in short films, including her daughter's. Franklin sang the National Anthem at Dodger Stadium on June 1, 2004.
