Once upon a time, these actors and actresses were the center of attention of viewers and film critics. But two or three decades have passed since they shone on the screens. Let's see how they have changed over this long period of time.

Maria de Medeiros





Her Fabiana from "Pulp Fiction" dreamed of pancakes with blueberries, and Maria herself, it seems to us, has fulfilled her dreams in full: now she is a director, screenwriter and singer.

Peter Gallagher



While he was sleeping in the Christmas comedy of the same name, we were worried about his fate. And for the actor, it turned out, frankly, not bad. Peter successfully acts in films, performs on the stage and sings. In 2005, he even released the album "7 Days in Memphis".

Jenette Goldstein





In the movie "Aliens" Jenette played Private Vasquez - a tough Marine who is not afraid of anything and is always ready to fight back. Her signature phrase "Let's rock!" has become iconic. Today, Jenette is the owner of a chain of stores selling plus size women's lingerie, and her company's slogan is "The Alphabet Starts with D".

Lindsay Lohan



Lindsay was naive only in the film "Mean Girls". In 2023, she gave birth to a son, and these days, the actress, in addition to notable roles in films, is engaged in her own beauty brand.

Linda Hamilton



The role of Sarah Connor brought Linda Hamilton international fame. The actress's other works were not so noticeable, she was unable to surpass her resounding success. But in 2019, Linda returned to her iconic role in the film "Terminator: Dark Fate".

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen



The charming twins Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen won the hearts of viewers in the film "It Takes Two: Me and My Shadow" and then starred in many films. However, now the sisters have completely switched to the fashion industry, creating a successful luxury brand "The Row".

Alicia Silverstone



Before her triumph in the film "Clueless", Alicia Silverstone had already starred in three music videos for the group "Aerosmith", and after that she secured her status as one of the most popular and highly paid young actresses of the 90s. Today, Alicia also regularly stars in films and TV series.

Sami Naceri



The daring taxi driver from Marseille won our hearts back in 1998. The fate of Sami Naceri, who played him, was not easy after the resounding success of the trilogy. These days, the actor continues to act, although not as actively.

Meg Ryan



When Harry Met Sally in 1989, no one suspected that this film would give us the rom-com star Meg Ryan. After a long absence from Hollywood, the actress returned and filmed the comedy What Happens Next in 2023, in which she played the lead role.

Haley Joel Osment



We remember this actor from the film "The Sixth Sense", where Haley played a boy with supernatural abilities. Judging by the social networks of the matured actor, today he is filming in the continuation of the series "Wednesday".

Gideon Burkhard



Commissioner Rex and his loyal partner, the handsome man Gideon Burkhard, stirred the hearts of girls, that's a fact. And, you know, with age he only got better. We're talking about Gideon.

Alison Porter



Curly Sue is no longer curly. Alison is involved in music, she is a successful singer and mother of three children - two girls and a boy.

Jean Reno



The role of Leon became a breakthrough in Hollywood for Jean Reno and secured his international fame. Incidentally, he still acts, and also produces his own line of eyeglass frames and women's perfume.
