Olivia Hussey
The jewel in Zeffirelli’s “Romeo and Juliet” is Argentine-British actress Olivia Hussey. With an angelic face and stunning blue eyes, Olivia was the world’s most famous teenager in the late 60s. Her mother’s decision to leave Buenos Aires for London was perhaps the best one she made for her daughter.
It seems that her dream came true! With roles including Juliet, Virgin Mary, and Mother Teresa, she was the depiction of purity. Off-screen, however, Hussey was always a little edgier! Her role as Juliet scored her a Golden Globe and the David di Donatello Award. A little-known fact about Hussey is that she moved into Sharon Tate’s former home, a month after she was murdered by the Manson family.
Jami Gertz
What do "Crossroads," "The Lost Boys," "Less Than Zero," "Quicksilver," "Square Pegs" and "Twister" have in common? Jami Gertz of course! Best known for these roles, Gertz was discovered in a nationwide talent search by Norman Lear! As a child, she starred in "Diff’rent Stroke"s and "The Facts of Life," before moving onto film, making her debut in the 1981 romance flick "Endless Love."
As she matured, she gained more attention, as well as appearing alongside Robert Downey Jr. and Kiefer Sutherland! Further roles in "Still Standing," "Ally McBeal," and "The Neighbours" make Gertz still very much a household name! But it doesn’t stop there; Gertz serves as a board director for the Melanoma Research Alliance – so she’s putting her hard-earned dollars to bettering the lives of others. Way to go, girl!
Catherine Bell
Major babe alert! We’re all thinking damn, now that’s a woman who looks good in uniform! Best known as Major Sarah MacKenzie in "JAG," Catherine Lisa Bell stole the hearts of Americans and Marines alike! She is quoted as saying: “Almost every Marine I’ve met says I portray a Marine dead-on, which is really, really flattering.”
The American-Iranian stunner also starred in Army Wives as well as the film and TV Series "The Good Witch." It seems there’s a bit of a trend with these actresses from the 90s, all coming on board the Netflix train! In 2016, Bell starred in the Netflix original film, "The Do-Over," starring Adam Sandler and David Spade. More recently, there were rumors floating around on the Internet about a "JAG" reunion! Please be true! Please be true!!!
Susan Olsen
Who would’ve thought the youngest Brady from "The Brady Bunch," Cindy, would’ve grown into the actress she is today! Next up is Susan Olsen, a woman of many talents; actor, animal welfare advocate, artist, and radio host. Quite the list, don’t you agree? The pigtail-wearing sibling recently caught up with Fox, amazed at the reach of the show and the famous house’s popularity; “there are people from Australia, Cincinnati, Chicago – just everywhere – that come just to see this house!”
Undoubtedly one of the most iconic shows of the 70s, anyone who appeared on "The Brady Bunch" is guaranteed a spot in TV history. Last appearing in the 2015 film "Mama Claus, Deck the Halls with Guts," it was definitely a detour from the family-friendly genre… described by IMDB as a "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" meets "Last House on the Left" flick!
Eve Plumb
Another leading lady, another Brady, next up is Eve Plumb, famous for portraying the middle daughter, Jan. Actress from the age of six, Eve has discovered another talent, (and success!) in a slightly different creative pursuit: art. Self-taught, Eve has steadily painted for the past 20 years, and established a well-grounded career for herself.
“I sometimes describe my art as ‘spontaneous still life,” with her ability to paint at any time of the day, as well as being inspired by a single moment during her day. Much of her work is shown across galleries in the United States! Regardless of her success, she still appears here and there, most recently on the police drama "Blue Bloods" with Tom Selleck!
