For a time in the 80's, she was one of most stunning Women

She's still a attractive woman. But in the 80's damn she's got to be up there as one of the most beautiful women to ever grace the movies. Some might disagree. She wasn't a bad actress either had a good run of movies.

Wrong Move (1975), Tess (1979), One From The Heart (1981), Cat People (1982), The Moon and The Gutter (1983), The Hotel New Hampshire (1984), Paris Texas (1984), Maria's lovers (1984), Revolution (1985) (sue me I love the film), Night Sun (1990), Faraway so Close (1993), One Night Stand (1997) (the film's not great, but she's very good), Savior (1998), Your Friends and Neighbors (1998), The Lost Son (1999), The Magic of Marciano (2000), The Claim (2000), An American Rhapsody (2001) and Inland Empire (2006).

It's a shame after 1985, her work started to get quite patchy and she didn't quite reach the heights of mega stardom. After 85, she still had some good work but she got lost in crappy European films and straight to Video action rubbish. She hasn't acted since 2013, shame really.

I have, I think that's the image she be known for. She's just stunning.

I for sure had that poster on my wall as a teen...The only one I ever had that was framed!

Her, Kelly Preston and Brook Shields are probably the top 3 most beautiful women for me from the 80s. Possibly forgetting some tho.

Good list. I’d probably add Ione Skye to the list as well, but get that she’s kinda hit and miss with some guys.

I had to look her up after seeing your post, don't think I've seen any of the stuff she's been in. I was only a kid back in the 80s.

Which movie was she in that you reckon was her best look?

I'd defo add Demi Moore to my list too, although I think she was way hotter in the 90s than 80s.

Hmm? Let’s see. The 80’s was a couple of years back now 😉 I would suggest Say Anything, with John Cusack, Gas, Food, and Lodging, A river’s edge, with Keanu Reeves. Really, she looked great in everything that she starred in. Pretty sure she was nude in a few of them as well.

She also comes from a somewhat famous pedigree. Father was British pop/folk singer Donovan (aka Donovan Leitch) mother was model Enid Graddis, brother is Donovan Leitch Jr (He starred in one of my favorite movies, “The In Crowd”) and she was married to one of the Beastie Boys (Adam Horovitz).

I guess she’s mostly forgotten today. But the formerly teenage Mr Johnson, still has very fond memories of her :D

I don't disagree with those but I think Phoebe Cates is my favorite.

Yeah she was stunning in her youth.

Very beautiful indeed. I grew up in the 90s but her, Christina Applegate and Mädchen Amick were my favorites....still are too
