Here’s What Icons of the ’90s Are Doing Today

The “as if” star Alicia Silverstone starred in the 1990s cult-classic film Clueless, known for its iconic fashion and memorable lines that people have been quoting for decades. She was wanted for every role in the entertainment industry during that time, but now she lives a much more low-key life. Though she is still in the spotlight, she spends most of her time advocating for animal rights, veganism, and healthy organic diets.

Tara Leigh Patrick, professionally known as Carmen Electra, is most famous for her time on Baywatch and has always had a passion for entertainment and Hollywood life. Carmen Electra is fifty years old but hardly seen on the big screen nowadays. However, she admitted that the iconic red swimsuit that catapulted her to fame is actually framed in her living room. But, these days, her career path has taken a bit of a turn in ways people might have never expected.

Friends actor, Matthew Perry, may have been a jokester on the popular sitcom, but his real life was a lot darker. In his new book, Perry shares that despite stardom and success, he struggled with alcoholism and was addicted to pain pills. He admitted at one point, he would take fifty-five Vicodin pills a day. Though he thought his co-stars couldn’t tell, Jennifer Aniston confronted him one day on set and revealed they could all smell alcohol on him.

The stunning actress Tiffani Thiessen had people swooning over her when she starred in Saved by the Bell as Kelly Kapowski at the young age of fifteen. She dated two of her co-stars while filming for the show, Mario Lopez and Mark-Paul Gosselaar, but they didn’t quite work out. In 2020 there was a sequel series in which she joined and revived her iconic role as Kelly. But acting isn’t her only passion.

Former child star Macaulay Culkin is most famously known for his iconic role in Home Alone. He rose to fame so young and became a recognizable face of the nineties. He even dated That 70s Show actress Mila Kunis when they were only 21 and 18, respectively. They had a long relationship that lasted about eight years, and they heavily relied on each other for emotional support, bonding over their childhood fame.

Drew Barrymore, star of films like E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Never Been Kissed and Scream, had a tumultuous childhood as she started acting at only five years old. By the nineties, she was no stranger to the big screen or entertainment world but had a love-hate relationship with acting because of the trauma it had brought her. She was partying, doing drugs, and dating men way older than her, which was undoubtedly an intense time. But today, she has grown from those experiences and hosts her own daytime TV show where she shares some of those stories.

The It Girl of the nineties, Winona Ryder was wildly successful everywhere. Everyone knew her face and name from her films like Edward Scissorhands, Little Women, Reality Bites, and Girl, Interrupted. She was in one of the most high-profile relationships with Johnny Depp, with fans obsessing and drooling over the power couple. Though she quickly vanished from the public eye when she got caught shoplifting and was sentenced to three years probation.

Bathing suit goddess, Pamela Anderson had a hold over the nineties. Her sex appeal and style undoubtedly influenced pop culture, while her role in the television series Baywatch became iconic and skyrocketed her to fame. Around this time, she met Mötley Crüe rocker Tommy Lee and married him four days later. They split after a tumultuous relationship which people speculated could’ve been because of their infamous stolen sex tape being released. So what does the former Baywatch actress do now?
