Caitlin Davies

For our money, one of the most underrated hotties of the 1980’s was Sheena Easton. She looked innocent, but could appear slutty, had a sexy Scottish accent and had an amazing singing voice. On Miami Vice, Easton married Sonny Crockett (Don Johnson) and rather than go into the nonsensical plot, we will state that we loved her role as Caitlin Davies, the successful Pop Singer with a tragic ending.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Miami Vice (1987-88)
Actor:
Sheena Easton
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for her:
We maintain that we made our case for Davies.
Why you should not vote for her:
We admit, it is a horrible case.

A forgotten 1980 film, The Idolmaker follows a busboy’s rise to stardom (Pater Gallagher) under the guidance of a man who wrote the songs, taught him the moves and controlled every facet of his life. It was not exactly a great film, but Gallagher showed how he played the “perfect male” years before anyone really knew who he was. Admittedly, it is a bit of nostalgia that put him on this ballot.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Idolmaker (1980)
Actor:
Peter Gallagher
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for him:
Beyond being a Peter Gallagher fan, we can’t think of a good one.
Why you should not vote for him:
This film did not even reach cult status.

C. C. Bloom

From the sapfest 1988 film, Beaches, we have Bette Midler as C.C. Bloom, an aspiring actress and singer who eventually made it big. The film spans decades, so we do see her rise, but realistically, this film is about her relationship with her best friend (played by Barbara Hershey), and Midler’s singing career is far secondary to that. Still, this generated one of the biggest hits ever in “Wind Beneath My Wings”, and that alone could propel this to a possible induction.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Beaches (1988)
Actor:
Bette Midler
Songs you might remember:
Wind Beneath My Wings
Why you should vote for her:
Midler again showcases that great singing voice; and there was a major hit from this film.
Why you should not vote for her:
We wager that if you are a male, you hated this film.

Burned Beyond Recognition

Another entry we admit we had no real business putting on the ballot, Burned Beyond Recognition was never seen, nor heard but were the focus of a Married With Children episode where the two sibling Bud and Kelly waited in line to purchase tickets for. We know this about the group; that they were a Heavy Metal band who urinate on their audience members.
As true with this show, the Bundy children fail to get a ticket (the person in front of them got the last one) and their parents (Al & Peg) go to the concert after winning them from the Rick Dees Radio show.
The Bullet Points:
TV Show Appeared:
Married with Children (1994)
Actors:
None
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for them:
Is urinating on the crowd a reason?
Why you should not vote for them:
You never did see them….or hear them!
