    Kathleen Turner - she was in quiet a few great movies during this decade, newmans best decade is the 1960s where he was the king
    Winona Ryder - my nom she was great in both Beetlejuice and heathers
    Molly Ringwald - i nominated these two also but i'll give molly my vote
    Tom Cruise - even though he can be very annoying, he was class in the 80s

    Sigourney Weaver - easy peasy because I really like her and dislike Sean Penn
    Al Pacino Jeff Bridges - Pacino, because I prefer him overall, but I don't think either had the best of their work in the 80s
