She still has the all American good looks that made her famous and her slim and fabulous figure to match.

The former model got her break in the 1983 film Valley Girl, which was loosely based on Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet story. The film was a critical and commercial success and put Nicolas Cage 60, on the road to superstardom.

But Foreman’s career burned slowly, as she became known as the 'scream queen', starring in a flurry of horror films, including April Fools Day and Waxwork, as well as a lead role in the teen flick, My Chauffeur.

By the end of the 80s the roles had started to dry up and the actress retired from the business in 1991.

Born into the Coppola film making dynasty, Nicolas Cage had all the right networks behind him to succeed. After his role in Valley Girl, he went onto appear in a string of teen flicks including Peggy Sue Got Married and Moonstruck in 1987.

He then received his first Oscar nomination for Leaving Las Vegas in 1995, by which time he was a household name.

He then never seemed to be off the big screen with films such as Con Air, Face/off, Gone in 60 seconds and the National Treasure Film Franchise.

Meanwhile his old co-star did make one appearance on the big screen with a cameo as a shop girl in the 2020 remake of Valley Girl.
