Where are These ’80s Female Heartthrobs Today?

Mia Sara captured hearts in 1985 as Princess Lili in Ridley Scott’s fantasy Legend opposite Tom Cruise. Just a year later, she cemented her 80s heartthrob status as Sloane Peterson in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off (1986). With her poise, beauty, and magnetic screen presence, she became a teen movie icon.

She was a heartthrob because she embodied cool, effortless elegance. As Sloane, she was the dream girlfriend — stylish, composed, and fun. With her long dark hair, luminous smile, and calm confidence, Mia Sara represented the ultimate 80s crush: both fantastical in Legend and perfectly attainable in Ferris Bueller.
