THREE REQUESTS (and please lend a hand no matter when you’re reading this):
#WHO IS THE GIRL IN ALWAYS BON JOVI FULL#
Steve Perry, “Oh Sherrie” (1984) – Sherrie Swafford (she respectfully declined a full interview but did give me permission to share a brief update).Three I found who chose not to participate: Three I found who responded to my interview request although they normally don’t: The video for “Jessie’s Girl” by Rick Springfield barely has a girl in it.What are the chances that FLO would be related to not one but two video vixens? Janet is the great-great granddaughter and Margaret Olmsted Menendez’s father said she is the great-great niece of Central Park designer Frederick Law Olmsted.

Warning as you proceed into the series (and therefore the ‘80s): more mustaches than you remember. “Don’t Come Around Here No More” (sometimes in the top 50)Ĭonversely, “Separate Ways (Worlds Apart)” has been called (unfairly, I say) one of the worst videos ever made.Ĭuriously, Patty Elias’s ex-husband wrote the MTV theme, which makes them an MTV power (ex-)couple like no other: “Addicted to Love” (almost always in the top 50) All- TIME Best Music Videos (2011 10 per decade, unranked within each decade).#35 MTV 500 Greatest Videos of All Time (1997).#14 MTV 100 Greatest Music Videos of All Time (1999).#9 Rolling Stone Top 100 Music Videos (1993).#8 VH1 Top 100 Music Videos of All Time (2001).“Take On Me” (almost always in the top 50) Some of the thirteen videos profiled here were regulars on big-brand “best music videos” lists, back when they used to make “best music videos” lists: Similarly, I did not include video stars who are now household names (Courteney Cox, Christie Brinkley, Tawny Kitaen, Helena Christensen) or who have been covered elsewhere (Ola Ray, Jeana Ellen Keough, Lillian Muller, Betsy Lynn George). I made those exceptions because their videos are two personal favorites.) As far as I can tell, none in this feature appeared on “Video Vixens 1”, and only two here, Signy Coleman and Bunty Bailey, appeared on “Video Vixens II”. (The VH1 series Where Are They Now? featured two episodes on this subject. Most of these former starlets were pretty tough to find and have never been interviewed about their videos.
