Fans are struggling to identify this iconic actress who held an unforgettable role alongside Tom Cruise. 40 years later, she’s incredibly different
Many know the story of how little-known actor Tom turned into Tom Cruise – a living Hollywood legend. Fans would likely think they’d recognise the actress who starred with him during his breakout role, but recent pictures are proving otherwise.
She played a prostitute in a movie where Tom was a Chicago teen coming of age. It’s been 40 years since she hit the limelight, though, and time changes everyone. Now, the 73-year-old has a long legacy and hefty acting resumé.
Even true fans may have had trouble recognizing Shera Danese from Risky Business now. However, they’ll never be able to forget the movie brothel that she had a hand in.
Nowadays, Shera has a full head of white hair. She still has a beautiful glow, but has certainly aged from her younger self. The life outside of her character could not contrast more with her offscreen life. On red-carpet events, she dresses classy and elegantly. In one photo, she wears a black and green outfit with a perfectly matching silver necklace with emerald jewels.
