I rented "Some Kind of Wonderful" on Saturday night and was thinking "Jeez that Craig Sheffer was cute, I guess, but did he ever work again after the 80s?"

Rob Lowe had made a comeback with the West Wing, but then when right back into obscurity.<BR/><BR/>The women have a much shorter shelf life. Right on with Molly Ringwald (is there a 37-yr-old male alive who didn't have a crush on her?) and Ally Sheedy. Jennifer Jason Leigh. Helen "Supergirl" Slater. Phoebe Cates (well she actually quit acting. Smart move.) And even Oscar nominiees--Mercedes Ruhle? Marissa Tomme? Rosie ("Isuzu Twoopah!")
