I'm surprised more people got Maradona than Madonna. But that's probably because the latter doesn't appear on the quiz.

Corey Feldman was in a couple of 80s movies, like The Fox and the Hound, The Goonies, Stand By Me, The Lost Boys, and even Gremlins.

Corey Haim was an actor who was also in The Lost Boys, which is where the "two Coreys" thing got its start. He later dealt with drug addiction and died in 2010.

Corey Hart was a singer who actually had 9 songs hit the Billboard Top 40, but then faded into obscurity shortly afterwards.

Corey Feldman and Corey Haim did like 10 movies together, were friends and spent a lot of time together outside of their acting roles as celebrities.

Seriously? Those were the two things that catapulted him to superstardom. If you don't know who he is from Family Ties and Teenwolf, then you don't know people in the 80's.

There's no record of Bo Derek ever modeling for anything but Playboy magazine. Please change her title to actress.
