It was the year 1983, and though fans were sad to see the final instalment of the Star Wars trilogy, it certainly went out with a bang due to Princess Leia's gold bikini, which she wore at the behest of alien gangster Jabba the Hutt who had taken her as a slave.?
Though the scene remains memorable more than 40 years on, late actress Carrie Fisher, who played Princess Leia, admitted that she did not enjoy wearing the iconic outfit.
Fisher opened up to NPR about the costume, saying being "nearly naked" was "not a style choice for [her]."
"It wasn't my choice," she told NPR. "When [director George Lucas] showed me the outfit, I thought he was kidding and it made me very nervous. I had to sit very straight because I couldn't have lines on my sides, like little creases. No creases were allowed, so I had to sit very, very rigid straight."
But the actress managed to turn the situation around for herself when it was her character and not Han Solo (Harrison Ford) and Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) - who came to rescue her - that got to kill Jabba the Hutt in the end.?
"[It] was so enjoyable," Fisher said of Leia's revenge. "I sawed his neck off with that chain that I killed him with. I really relished that because I hated wearing that outfit and sitting there rigid straight, and I couldn't wait to kill him."
After her Star Wars fame, Fisher went on to star in films such as Hannah and Her Sisters (1986), The 'Burbs (1989), When Harry Met Sally... (1989), and more. She was also nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for her performances in sitcom 30 Rock (2007) and the series Catastrophe (2017).
Fisher later returned to the Star Wars franchise in the same role for Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015), Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017), with the latter being a posthumous release after she died in December 2016 at the age of 60.?
She appeared in another Star Wars film, Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (2019), through the use of unreleased footage from The Force Awakens.
British actress Natascha McElhone played arguably the most mysterious character of The Truman Show, captivating not only Truman but fans of the film throughout.
McElhone's Lauren Garland is a college student Truman pines after who tries to tell him the truth about his life.
The pair become romantically involved, however, Lauren is kicked off the set before she could save Truman from the reality show.
McElhone's role in The Truman Show was one of her first, and she's enjoyed a long and successful Hollywood career since.
She has since starred in ?TV shows including Californiacation, Designated Survivor, and also played the lead role of Carmen in the 2021 film of the same name.
Her most recent role was as Lady Romsey in The Crown.?
In her personal life, however, McElhone has experienced some tragedy.
Her husband of 10 years, plastic surgeon Martin Kelly, died in 2008 suddenly at the age of 43 from a heart attack while she was pregnant with their baby.
Only a few months after his death, the actress welcomed the couple's third son, Rex.
Speaking to The Telegraph UK in 2016, the actress revealed she wrote letters and diary entries to her late husband, and said her three young sons? are yet to read them.
"They can if they want to but we talk about him a lot," she said.
You may know actress Vanessa Williams from her iconic roles in Ugly Betty and Desperate Housewives, but in the 1980s, she was making a name for herself as a beauty queen.
It all started two decades earlier, when Williams was born and her parents announced the good news in the local paper with the proclamation: "Here she is: Miss America".
They had no idea how right they would be, with a 21-y?ear-old Williams going on to make history in 1983 as the first African-American woman to be named Miss America.
Almost a year after her coronation, however, Williams embroiled in a scandal ¨C without her consent ¨C that saw her forced to relinquish her crown.
When Williams had less than seven weeks left of her reign, unauthorised nude photos of her, which had been taken when she was working as a photographer's assistant, were published in Penthouse magazine.
As a result, Williams was forced to give up her title, in a move that she has since described as one of the lowest points of her life.
"I felt betrayed and violated... I think this would have to be the worst thing that has happened in my life," Williams told People in 1984.
"But I can't go any place but up. I've hit rock bottom."
Prior to the nude photos surfacing, Williams had also reportedly received obscene messages and death threats because she was the first Black Miss America.
"There were a lot of people that did not want me to be representative of the United States and Miss America," Williams told ABC News in 2010.
"And not just white people alone. There were a lot of people who had issues ... I was too light. My eyes were the wrong colour. My hair wasn't the right texture and getting criticism for being who I was."
In 2015, 32 years after being stripped of her crown, the Miss America organisation apologised to Williams on-stage after she had performed Amy Grant's Oh How The Years Go By during the pageant that would crown 2016's Miss America, which she was also judging.
"I want to apologise for anything that was said or done during the photo scandal," Miss America CEO Sam Haskell III said to Williams and the crowd as headlines from newspapers at the time flashed behind the pair.
"I have been a close friend to this beautiful and talented lady for 32 years," he said.
"You have lived your life in grace and dignity and never was it more evident than during the events of 1984 when you resigned."
Haskell also apologised to Williams' mother, before saying, "I want to apologise for anything that was said or done that made you feel any less than the Miss America you are and the Miss America you always will be."
In a twist of irony, two years after Haskell's apology, he was forced to resign as CEO of the Miss America Organisation due to a leaking scandal of his own ¡ª emails from Haskell and Miss America staffers and board members surfaced that included sexist language and insulting comments with reference to former Miss Americas.
After the scandal, Williams was able to rebound with a successful singing career.
In ?1988, she released her debut studio album The Right Stuff and saw success when her single Dreamin' reached number eight on the US charts.
Over time, she received multiple Grammy Award nominations, including for her number-one single Save the Best for Last which she even performed live at the 1993 Grammy Awards ceremonies.
She also saw success as an actress, most recognised for her roles as Wilhelmina Slater on Ugly Betty and Renee Perry on Desperate Housewives.
Williams continues to act, recently being cast in Elton John's musical rendition of The Devil Wears Prada, where she will channel her experience playing Wilhelmina Slater? in her new role of Miranda Priestly.
Her music career continues to this day, with Williams releasing her new song Legs (Keep Dancing) just last week.
"I wanted to do something at 61," she told Today. "It's like, I'm still here. I'm still relevant. I still got stuff to say and do and act. So, during our actors strike, I recorded an album."
"I've been planning on doing this for years and I just said, 'This is the time.'"
In 2000, the world was introduced to a grumpy yet loveable diner owner by the name of Luke Danes.
When Gilmore Girls first aired, ?actor Scott Patterson quickly became a household name.
He was part of a cast of then-unknown stars who would stay on for seven seasons of the ridiculously popular series.
Big fans of the show will recall that the character of Luke Danes was originally supposed to be a woman named Daisy.
T?he show's creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino, flipped the script and made the diner owner a man after being told she needed more male characters in the show.
"[The network] came to me and said we need another guy, so I literally just took a character and changed the name, didn't even change any of the dialogue because I'm that lazy," she told Entertainment Weekly in 2016.
Luke also later became a love interest for Lorelei, played by Lauren Graham, after producers noticed how great their on-screen chemistry was.
?"It's just this funny, weird chemistry that we had in terms of being complete opposites and also this built-in conflict of he has the thing she wants, which is coffee," Graham told the publication.
Before Gilmore Girls, Patterson's ?acting resume includes spots on Will & Grace and Seinfeld.
He also played professional baseball in the 1980s.?
A?fter the show wrapped in 2007, Patterson went on to land a role in the TV shows Aliens in America and The Event.
He also reprised? his role as Luke in the Gilmore Girls revival in 2016.
The show has been such a big part of Patterson's life, he also launched his own podcast about Gilmore Girls, titled I Am All In with Scott Patterson.
"Enough time has gone by where I can just really appreciate it as a fan. I'm really enjoying it," he told EW ahead of the podcast's launch.
M?ost recently, Patterson stars in the TV series Sullivan's Crossing.
Now aged 65,? the actor has been married to wife Kristine Saryan ¨C who appeared in one episode of Gilmore Girls ¨C since 2014.
The pair share one son, Nicholas.
?Though there were rumours at the time that Patterson and his co-star Graham dated during filming, the actress once shut it down after being asked about it.
"We did not ever take our work outside of the work," she said during a press event for her book.
Model and actress Bridget Moynahan has the kind of acting resume that belongs to a much bigger name in Hollywood.
She's been around for a long time ¨C but her starpower has faded slightly over the years.
?Moynahan has appeared in Coyote Ugly, Sex and the City, I, Robot and John Wick.
One of Moynahan's biggest roles was as Rachael in the 2000 movie Coyote Ugly, but before that, she was cast as Big's young wife Natasha Romonoff in Sex and the City.
During the early days of her career, ?Moynahan crossed paths with New England Patriots legend Tom Brady.
The pair were first linked in early 2004? and dated for three years, until their shock split in 2006.
But that wasn't the end of their story ?¨C just two months later, the actress realised she was pregnant with Brady's first child.
It was a small scandal at the time, as Brady had been dating his new girlfriend, model Gisele ?B¨¹ndchen, when it was confirmed he was the father.
In August 2007, she gave birth to their son, John.?
T?here were plenty of rumours of tension between Moynahan, Brady and B¨¹ndchen.
"I'm a traditional girl, and I believe in marriage, and I just always thought that's the way I'd be doing this," Moynahan told More Magazine at the time.
"For a moment, it was hard for me to accept that this was the way I was going to have a family."
B¨¹ndchen, meanwhile, recalled how she felt when her new boyfriend ¨C and now her ex-hsuband ¨C welcomed a son with his ex so early on into their relationship.
It was definitely a surprise for both of us," she admitted to Vanity Fair.
"In the beginning, you're living this romantic fantasy; you're thinking, This can't be true, it's so good! And then, Whoops ¨C wake-up call!"
