27 Actresses in Truly Iconic '80s Movie Roles (Cinemablend)

"The 1980s gave us some of the most iconic films of all time. Whether it was big-time franchises that took off, such as the Indiana Jones films (which is getting a fifth movie), or stand-alone teen dramas, there were so many amazing characters that are iconic to this day, and that includes the powerful actresses who carried them. From badass women to scenes that have stood the test of time, here are some of the actresses with some truly iconic roles from '80s movies." - cinemablend.com (and oops, Princess Leia should be called out for the 80's films The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi as Star Wars was released in 1977)
