Where Are They Now?
Exclusive: Remember Their Names? The Stars of TV’s Fame 30 Years Later
For any kid who ever dreamed of making it as a performer, or who felt the struggle to fit in at high school, this show, which ran from 1982 to 1987, is an icon. All those dramatic story lines intercut with full-production song-and-dance numbers felt authentic because so many of the kids really were aspiring musicians and dancers.

Cynthia Gibb as Holly Laird on Fame
Then: Gibb joined the cast in season 3 as Holly Laird, the new-kid drama major. Snakkle Exclusive! Gibb tells us, “Fame was a life-changing job for me.
