Heather Locklear

Heather Locklear is known for her roles as wicked and mean. Her strongly-styled hair and charming eyes ruled the ’80s with unforgettable television acting appearances. After a series of minor roles, her first major television character was Sammy Jo Carrington in “Dynasty.” This also set out her long-time collaboration with producer Aaron Spelling.

However, she reached breakthrough success by portraying Amanda Woodward in “Melrose Place” from 1993 to 1999. Her performance earned her four consecutive Golden Globe Best Actress nominations. Locklear also made it to films with the science-fiction thriller “Firestarter,” action-comedy “Money Talks,” and the romantic comedy “The Perfect Man.”

Pamela Anderson

Before rising to stardom as the girl in a red bathing suit and a lifeguard in “Baywatch,” Pamela Anderson was like any young sports fan. While attending a BC Lions Canadian Football League game in Vancouver, she was wearing a Labatt’s Beer T-shirt on the big screen. Shortly after that event, the company hired her as a spokesmodel.

This launched Anderson’s modeling career, and she was in Playboy for 22 years. She went on to grace film and television screens, best known for her starring role as C.J. Parker in “Baywatch.” This earned her international recognition, and was awarded a Canadian Walk of Fame star.

Daryl Hannah

Daryl Hannah might have had her screen debut in the 1978 film “The Fury,” but it was in the ’80s that she made a huge splash over the industry. We were lucky we had a hold of her not-so-famous image during her peak. She earned prominence for starring in the blockbuster movies “Blade Runner,” “Wall Street,” and “Splash.”

Hannah also ventured into the behind-the-scenes work and served as a writer, director, and producer for the short film “The Last Supper” and the documentary “Strip Notes.” Apart from the entertainment field, she extended her influence by supporting human rights and environmental causes.
