The stars of iconic 1980s music videos - help!
Hello posters,
I'm working on a feature (I'm a journo) that involves trying to find some of the stars of iconic 1980s music videos to talk about their experiences making them. I'm not talking about the musicians, but the actors/ extras who made an impression on you. For example, the girl from Michael Jackson's Thriller; one of the women from Robert Palmer's Addicted To Love video; the girl from A-Ha's Take On My video; the guy from Papa Don't Preach video. Can you think of any other memorable people who starred in 1980s videos that would be remembered by Joe Public? Johnno |

The bride in Guns N' Roses epic 'November Rain' video? Think it's still the most expensive music video ever made!
Or of course the dolphins in GNR's equally epic video 'Estranged'!

How about the little Mexican kid who fires his toy gun at the classic British sports car (Sunbeam Alpine I think) at the very start of Tears For Fears mega hit Eveybody Wants To Rule The World. He would only have been about 3 at the time.
