The Grammy-award winner, who released her first album in 1983, continues to release hits today, and is still considered to be one of pop music and fashion’s greatest icons.
Her career began at an astounding 2 years in Punky Brewster, and NBC sitcom. She was later invited to voice the same role when the animated series was released. In late 90s and early 2000s, she appeared in shows such as Friends and Sabrina as well as The Wonder Years.

Flashdance was the movie that introduced Jennifer Beals to Hollywood. She later returned to Hollywood after graduation to star in Vampire Kiss and The Bride.
