1980s Celebrities by Picture #2

George Best, Franz Beckenbauer and Johann Cruyff all played for US football clubs in the 80's.

And no one knows who any of those people are (at least in the USA)

Football is soccer in the USA and had no following in the 80e lol!

Pelé is not from the USA.

Never they just think they do. Nothing exists outside their consumerist bubble.

It's not that the U.S. has a monopoly on celebrity, it's just that if you want to be a celebrity, the spot to do it is the U.S., that's why even if they were not born in the U.S., their biggest fame comes from getting there.

The Beatles, Ozzy Osbourne, Liam Neeson, Sean Connery, and the list goes on and on, not from the U.S., but very few people would even know who they were if they didn't become famous there.

Very interesting quiz!

100% with 3:03 left.......... too much time on my hands in the 80's

Have you seen her lately? LadyMary was right to say "is".

The plastic surgeon that agreed to work on her should lose their medical license and be thrown in jail for malpractice and gross negligence.

She's an actor not a model so I'm not sure what the relevance of all these comments about her appearance are. Time to leave your 1980s attitudes behind boys

The plastic surgery has taken away what made her recognizable as "her". I will never understand the obsession with this. They always use the excuse that they can't get work unless they stay looking young. That may be part of it, but I think it is more of an addiction for some. It really is a shame. I don't see how looking like a creature from another world is better than growing old gracefully.

After 'Baysinger' was not accepted, I tried Hannah. Then tried it again with the 'y' incredulously, then the spelling finally came to me.

I think she has a long face like a horse. Never thought she was pretty. Good makeup though but not a true beauty.

thought Julia was Princess Diana

OMG I thought River Phoenix was Nicole Kidman!

Who is PeeWee Herman?

No kids liked him we thought he was an annoying weirdo. Maybe insulated weird nerdy kids but he gave off a pedo vibe like Mr. Rogers to me

And West Wing and 24 to name some others. Some major shows.

Smits was also on "Pee Wee's playhouse" with Paul Reubens, he played a robot/computer repairman in at least one episode.

He was also in Sons of Anarchy, I believe he may have been in ER as well or one of the other million hospital shows that were on in the 90's, he was also on one of the more famous soap operas, I have no idea which one it was. Also, just for a funny little tidbit, he was on an episode of Pee Wee's playhouse starring Paul Reubens, Jimmy Smits played a robot repairman in an episode.

Maradona was Argentinian

I tried Lou Diamond Phillips for Jimmy Smits. Epic fail.

I thought Kim Basinger was Darryl Hannah...

Surely you can't be serious.

I am serious, and don't call me Shirley.

Lol :-D

Cool! "Just take those ol records off the shelf..."

Maradona is probably as well known by our sedentary youth as Bo Jackson.

Rick Robie awarded me my free throw prize - an autographed 'record ' of the Celt's '86 season.

I'm afraid nobody remembers him but me.

Any other picture of Jimmy Smits, and I may have got him. I don't believe there weren't any better pics of him from the 80s, though I suppose my opinion on his pic here is all subjective.

On a different note: I always forget how gorgeous River Phoenix was.

I thought for a second that Paul Reubens was Mr Bean

Lol!

Ugh. One wrong - I knew that was Maradona, but I couldn't spell it correctly. I even tried just Diego M, but it obviously wasn't enough. I kept putting two ns in it.
