Deborah Foreman - Valley Babe

We'll start with what I thought was one of the best suggestions. Deborah Foreman, or rather Deborah Foreman Atelier, has been breaking hearts since she fell for the hairy guy in Valley Girl. I mean, if a sports site is asking her 10 questions, you know guys worship her. And if you recall, she also played the vixen killing smart guys one lay at a time in Real Genius. Lately? Well, after a 10 year break, she'll be back in theaters this year in something called Beautiful Loser. But it looks like her yoga gig is what pays the rent. And really, wouldn't you pay some big bucks for private lessons?

Valerie Bertinelli - Van Halen Babe

I gotta think being married to rock royalty for 20 years would leave you pretty exhausted and stressed out. But it looks like the worst thing she got out of the deal was a son named Wolfgang. Valerie was in One Day at a Time until 1984, and then made about 4,000 made for TV movies, which puts her in the Lifetime Channel Hall of Fame. You know that game Band name or Lifetime Movie? Most of those are hers. Anyway, she joined Touched by an Angel in 2001, and unfortunately her marriage with Eddie officially ended in 2005. But she stayed with him through the oral cancer years, so she's awesome. And I've read Eddie still smokes, so he's retarded.

Pia Zadora - E True Hollywood Babe

For those who don't know her, Pia Zadora is the Paris Hilton of the 80's. (Hey, that's good) Back then, Pia's job was becoming famous, and she had just the millionaire husband to make it happen. Bad timing, really...she would've been huge in these Anna Nicole years. But anybody that starred in Voyage of the Rock Aliens still deserves our respect. Obviously, there's been a True Hollywood Story about her...probably a two-hour special. And you know the urban legend about a theater playing Diary of Anne Frank, and someone in the audience yelling "She's in the Attic"? That's about her. These days, she lives comfortably on millionaire ex-hubby's alimony payments, at an estate formally owned by Douglas Fairbanks. This is known as kharma on vacation.

Markie Post - Courtroom Babe

It's been a while since you've thought about Markie Post, hasn't it? Sure, she was the hottie public defender on Night Court. Then she was John Ritter's wife in Hearts Afire, and then Cameron's mother in There's Something About Mary. But did you know she was in a pilot for a remake of Electra Woman & Dynagirl. Never got picked up, but if there's any justice, the executive that killed it is rotating Falcon Crest reruns on the Soap Opera channel. Next, Markie's set to appear in a 2006 flick called Cook-Off, and maybe she'll swing by the YesBut offices for the publicity tour.

Ione Skye - Say Anything Babe

I've never actually seen Say Anything. Seen every other Cusack movie known to man, but stopped short of the holding the radio flick. And I didn't know Ms. Skye was Donovan's daughter, or that she married a Beastie Boy, or that she left said Beastie for a female model. So far, this is kind of a Where Was She Then, isn't it. Ok, next year she'll be in a Jake Gyllenhaal flick called Zodiac (you have to scroll down to get to her name), and here she is celebrating at a beach bonfire in the Hamptons just two short weeks ago. That's right...up to the minute updates from YesButNoButYes, even if you didn't want them. Almost stalkerish, really.

Lisa Whelchel - Babe for the Lord

Ok, this one scares me. Since playing stuck-up Blair on the Facts of Life, Lisa Whelchel has found the Lord...like, REALLY found Him. So I don't want to say anything disrespectful, or this nut may come after me. And really, I think it's great she's so happy. Lord knows, the child star thing could have gone the other way. So, lets just make this pleasant. Lisa enjoys scrapbooking, home schooling and coffee talk. I'm not even touching the hot sauce thing, or the gay talk show revelation. Let's just move on.

Heather Thomas - Fall Guy Babe

Man, she was a hottie, wasn't she? Still is,too. In the 80's, Heather Thomas made a living as the sassy sidekick on the Fall Guy. But she gave up acting at an early age to try her hand at screenwriting, and after 40 screenplays, finally sold a script called School Slut (yeh, you heard me) for a six figure sum. Lately, she's been involved in several political causes, is married with three children, and splits time between homes in Santa Monica and Jackson Hole. Just a lovely story when you think about it...but guess what, that's not all! If you act right now, you can have this man's entire collection of Heather Thomas memorabilia for only $150.00, plus shipping from Ontario, Canada. Supplies are limited, so hurry the hell up.

Lea Thompson - Back to the Babe

At some point, you read the sign on your trailer and see that it says Howard the Duck. We call that a crossroads moment. Lea Thompson is an 80's legend. Not just for Back to the Future, but anyone who survives a movie with Dice Clay has earned the title, 80's legend. And she was also one of those ass-kicking survivalists in Red Dawn. (I saw Swayze on tv recently. Looks like he's got the same plastic surgeon that did Bruce Jenner). These days, Lea stars on a Hallmark Channel series called Jane Doe, where she plays soccer mom and former CIA bad-ass Cathy Davis. (No word on the duck. Heroin, I think.)

Linda Hamilton - The Termibaber

Linda Hamilton. Saving the world from the governator...hanging with man-lion things in the sewer...marrying directors who make billion dollar movies, Linda Hamilton. I'll bet that last one means she never even has to think about working another day. And good for her...she didn't do all that working out for nothing. (Speaking of the Terminator, isn't it weird that the guy who played Reese never made it big. He starred in Terminator, then Aliens, but I think playing the psycho in the Abyss did him in.) But back to Sarah Conner, she's still putting out movies, just not Terminator size ones. And anything you'd EVER want to know about her can be found here...one of the most elaborate fan sites I've seen. The bio on the site says she hopes to one day hold crack babies, but she's also bi-polar, which means she probably only wants to hold them on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. She also lists smoking as a pasttime. Huh? But please, I shouldn't spoil the fun...knock yourselves out.

Erin Gray - Science Fiction Babe

Most of her pictures on the web show Erin Grey wearing that helmet from her Buck Rogers days. I wonder how she feels about that. Not too much out there on Ms. Grey. Lots of pictures at autograph tables, which is never a good sign. Then again, the way science fiction fans eat that up, it's probably a lucrative little venture. I went to eringray.com to see if there was anything there, and hit paydirt. Turns out, she teaches Tai Chi, which means she's at peace with her inner spaceship captain. There's even video of her in action. Maybe she should get together with Valley Girl and start a chain of 80's-themed health spas. I'm telling ya, do they great ideas ever stop?

Pamela Sue Martin - Dynasty Babe

When you think about it, Pamela Sue Martin has done some pretty major shit in her career. She starred in one of the defining tv series of the 80's, playing Fallon Carrington in Dynasty. (Fallon Carrington...sounds like an NFL quarterback, doesn't it? Fallon Carrington drops back to pass.) She was also Nancy Drew in the 70's, and she was even in the Poseidon Adventure...remember that? She had the annoying kid brother. Throw in a Playboy coverand you've got a pretty impressive resume. Recently, she's become an environmental activist for groups like Greenpeace and The Sierra Club. And she lives in Idaho with her son, who hopefully doesn't have a copy of the Playboy.

Nastassja Kinski- Snakes on a Babe

And finally...everything I know about Natassia Kinski involves animals. She's responsible for the sexiest poster ever with a really big snake. She starred in a very hot movie where she turned into a cat. And every time I saw her, there was instantly a pup tent in the room...AHAHAHAHA (I'm actually twelve.) Hey, did you know she had a child with Quincy Jones...news to me. More recently, Ms. Kinski's been in films about communism in the 50's, the artist Paul Gauguin and a female muskateer. And next month she'll be at a film festival in Turkey. Basically still in the biz, just not in a big way. But who knows...with Samuel Jackson making his reptilian movie debut later this month, It may be time for another poster.

And that's it for the 80's babes. If you didn't read part one, you can check it out here. Come back soon for Where Are They Now - Babes of the 40's. Probably be a shorter piece.
