Book Description

Time to get back to the future! In this special edition from the editors of People, we celebrate the year Marty McFly and Doc Brown turned a DeLorean into a time machine. 1985 was the year of The Breakfast Club and St. Elmo's Fire, of Princess Diana's iconic twirl with John Travolta at the White House, and of Live Aid and Farm Aid when the music world came together to do good. On TV we were watching The Golden Girls, Moonlighting (Hello, Bruce Willis!), Dynasty, and Dallas. We look back at Star Tracks and Heart Monitor from 1985 to see what the most memorable celebrities of the day were up to, and who was falling in or out of love, as well as the biggest news of the year. This 96-page photo-filled issue also includes People's Ultimate Pop Culture Quiz: How well do you remember 1985?

Book Description

The 80's: If we remember correctly, they happened somewhere between disco and grunge, after platform shoes but before Friends. President Ronald Reagan sat in the Oval Office; Sixteen Candles and Raiders of the Lost Ark played at the multiplex; and, on the small screen, the invention of MTV meant that image, more than ever, could make a star. This was good news for Madonna, Duran Duran and Boy George and great news for A Flock of Seagulls. PEOPLE Celebrate the 80's takes you on a trip down memory lane with the stars, fads and moments you'll never forget.

At the same time Princess Diana went from shy schoolteacher to worlds most famous woman to thoroughly modern mom as her marriage slid from fairy tale to farce. In the lavishly illustrated keepsake, youll relive all the highs and woes of a decade that mad Bill Cosby the king of prime-time, the Berlin Wall a pile of rubble, cable TV and the fax machine ubiquitous and two otherworldly characters world famous? Michael Jackson, he of the white glove, and ET, phoning home across the cosmos.
