9 ’80s Icons Who Didn’t Just Rule the Decade — They Defined It
7.Cindy Crawford
Cindy Crawford was a massively successful fashion model in the 80s, appearing on countless covers and taking strolls down the catwalk regularly. Every boy in the 80s’ had her poster pinned to a wall somewhere. Marrying Richard Gere was fun, but she divorced him in the mid-90s to marry Randy Gerber in 1998. This was the right decision as even their kids, Presley and Kaya, followed in their parents’ modeling footsteps.
8.Iman
After Peter Beard first discovered this Somali-American gem in the rough, Iman became one of the major models of the 80s and 90s’. Iman’s slender stature and unique figure made world-renowned designers like Gianni Versace and Yves Saint Laurent fight over her. But why choose one famous designer when you can have both? In just a few years, Iman appeared on the covers of hundreds of glossy magazines. When modeling stopped being fun, Iman turned to something all models do sooner or later – entrepreneurship, in particular, selling cosmetics. In 1992, Iman got married to David Bowie, and they lived happily together for 24 years until he passed away.
9.Christina Applegate
Some viewers remember Christina for her roles in the T.V. series “Friends,” where she played Rachel’s sister, but most of her fame came from the sitcom series “Married with Children.” More recently, Christina Applegate has been popping off in movies like “Bad Moms” and “Anchorman 2,” as well as Netflix’s dark comedy series “Dead to Me.” In 2021, Applegate announced that she had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
