7 Bodacious '80s Babes You (Probably) Forgot About

Their careers didn't go the way of Meryl Streep and you may have trouble remembering their names in casual convos now, but these women will not fall into obscurity. No, sir. Here are 7 stunners among the hottest actresses of 1980s cinema and TV you should remember. 

Markie Post

Night Court?") and "The Fall Guy." She went on to the sitcom "Hearts Afire" in the '90s and played Eliot's mom on "Scrubs," along with numerous other projects throughout the 2000s. 

Erin Gray

If you were a "Silver Spoons" fan, you probably had the hots for assistant-turned-stepmom Kate Summers, played by Erin Gray. Gray had already become one of the hottest actresses of the decade after playing one-piece-wearing Wilma Deering in "Buck Rogers in the 25th Century." 

Mia Sara

If you've seen "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" (we're sure hoping you have), then you know the gorgeous Mia Sara as Ferris's girlfriend, Sloane. Mia took the '80s by storm when she starred in the iconic John Hughes film, in addition to "Legend" and "Time Cop." 

Sean Young

What's more perfectly '80s than "Blade Runner" and "Wall Street"? The stunning Sean Young appeared in both classics, as well as "No Way Out" and "Cousins." 

Sybil Danning

They don't make 'em like Sybil Danning anymore. The leggy Austrian star of cult and B movies like "Battle Beyond the Stars" and "Hercules" went on to appear in the mock trailer for "Werewolf Women of the SS" featured in 2007's "Grindhouse." 

Kelly McGillis

Kelly McGillis became a household name after starring alongside Tom Cruise in "Top Gun" and Harrison Ford in "Witness." 

Kelly LeBrock

What does the perfect woman look like? According to "Weird Science," that'd be Kelly LeBrock. The gorgeous actress also starred in "The Woman in Red" with Gene Wilder and "Hard to Kill" with Steven Seagal, her husband from 1987-1996.
