Janet Jackson
Jackson could never reach the stardom level of her late brother, the phenomenal Michael Jackson. Now, that is indeed difficult, isn’t it? However, she did deliver some fantastic hits in the 90s, with two of her albums — ‘Janet’ and ‘The Velvet Rope.’ After this, people came to know her name slowly because of her own creations, and not just because of her sensational brother.
Right in the initial phase of her career, she acted in two record-breaking films, which hit the multi-million club! Alongside Tupac Shakur, she co-starred in ‘Poetic Justice.’ Jackson married Wissam Al Mana and had her first baby at the age of fifty! She has since separated from her husband in a very public divorce, and the two now share custody of their son.
Winona Ryder
Now, who needs an introduction for one of the most known faces of the 90s and one of the most sought-after actresses in film history? Ryder did her most notable and memorable works during the 90s and took the world by storm with her innocent face and fierce acting. She made thousands of fans after her appearances in ‘Edward Scissorhands,’ ‘Mermaids and Girl,’ ‘Girl, Interrupted,’ ‘Bram Stoker’s Dracula,’ and ‘Reality Bites.’
Her extraordinary performance in ‘The Age of Innocence’ won her the prestigious Golden Globe in 1993 for Best Supporting Actress. Oh, and girls, wanna go green with envy? Ryder dated heartthrob Johnny Depp for quite some time, and the two were even engaged for a while but never married. She is now in a relationship with businessman Scott Mackinlay Hahn.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Born to actress Blythe Danner and producer Bruce Paltrow, Gwyneth was born in a silver crib! In 1996, she got the offer to act in the cinematic adaptation of Jane Austen’s ‘Emma,’ and the world welcomed her into the film industry after seeing her incredible talent. Two years later, Paltrow did the romantic drama, ‘Sliding Doors,’ and got many dynamic offers since then.
This Hollywood starlet had her name attached to the likes of ‘Se7en’, ‘Shakespeare in Love,’ ‘Great Expectations,’ and ‘The Talented Mr. Ripley.’ She has also acted in the Marvel hit ‘Iron Man.’ Many people remember her for the spicy gossip about her hook-ups with high-profile Hollywood men like Ben Affleck and Brad Pitt. Though she married Coldplay’s lead singer, Chris Martin, in 2003, her marriage ended in 2016. In 2018, Gwyneth married longtime partner Brad Falchuk, an American television writer, director, and producer.
Courtney Love
If you have seen the performances of the grunge-punk band Hole, you have obviously fallen in love with Courtney Love! Performing as the frontwoman of the band, Love was shot to stardom instantly. After marrying the legendary Kurt Cobain in 1992, she became a household name, but most of her headlines were made when he passed away in 1994.
Being the strong woman that she is, Love did not let her personal loss affect her career and continued to look ahead for greener pastures. She was a part of an autobiographical art show in New York in 2012 and went on a tour with Lana Del Rey in 2015.
Natalie Portman
One of the most talented actresses in Hollywood, Portman made her debut in a feature film named ‘Leon: The Professional’ in 1994. Her acting skills were of such a level that only two years down the line, she got an offer to play the role of Marty in ‘Beautiful Girls.’ This extraordinary performance got her huge critical acclaim.
Her brilliant acting in movies like ‘Black Swan,’ ‘Garden State,’ and ‘Closer’ mesmerized audiences, and her name became part of the A-listers of Hollywood. Portman was nominated for an Oscar for Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role for her outstanding performance in the title role of ‘Jackie’ in 2017.
