Mimi MacPherson never planned to follow in her famous sister's footsteps.
The younger sister to Australian supermodel, Elle, did dabble with a career in front of the camera, yet, it was never her passion.
During the 1990s, the MacPherson sisters were fast emerging in the celebrity world as the 'next big things' out of Australia.
Elle made her name as a 'cover girl' on magazines around the world, while Mimi forged a name for herself as an environmentalist and entrepreneur.
Then, Mimi stepped back from the spotlight.
MacPherson grew up with elder sister Elenor on Sydney's north shore.
She was 21 when she joined her father's whale watching crew. It helped nurture a love for the ocean and the aquatic mammals.
She started her own whale watching cruises in Hervey Bay, in Queensland, in 1989.
In the early parts of her career, she raised more than $100,000 for the Pacific Whale Foundation Researc?h.
As well as her environmental work, MacPherson continued to model.
In the 1990s she picked up a number of commercial deals - Swatch, the National Basketball League and Australia Post.
In 1999 she was dubbed 'the young body' - a play on Elle's supermodel 'the body' tag - and became the 'face of Fosters' for its Formula One sponsorship.?
She replaced English model and TV personality, Kelly Brook.
"It's hard always being mentioned alongside someone else's name. 'Elle's sister Mimi'," MacPherson said in a 1995 interview.?
"I used to have people saying: 'You look like her'. That was about six years ago. I actually don't look a lot like her. It does grate on your nerves a bit."
MacPherson appeared to be most at home when combining her public profile with environmental issues.
She was a spokesperson for the likes of Planet Ark, Clean Up Australia, Sydney Water and Coast Care.
She was also ?the CEO of her own business, Mimi Macphersons Whale Watch Expeditions.
"I never really wanted the fame thing. I didn't want that at all, but I didn't have a choice," she told News Limited in 2011.
"The thing that's been hardest is people thinking that whatever I have achieved has been because Elle has bought it for me or done it for me. That is not the case."
These days MacPherson is enjoying the quiet life outside the public eye.
The now 55-year-old quit the Sydney scene and lives in Noosa.
"I just really like to keep things simple," she told The Daily Mail in December 2023.
"I don't particularly like talking to the media... it's one of the reasons I moved away from Sydney. It's quite daunting.?"
MacPherson's time away from the spotlight is so important to her she's even changed her professional name.
She now goes by the name Mia.?
"Because I just like privacy. I don't trade on my name and I never have," she told the media outlet.
Go go Power Rangers!
Her name might be Amy Jo Johnson, but she'll always be the Pink Power Ranger to us.
The actress was catapulted to fame in 1993 thanks to her role as Kimberly Hart in the TV series Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
(You've got the theme song in your head now, don't you?)
It was a dream role for a budding actress, but it didn't exactly bring in the big bucks.
In an interview with NPS, Johnson recalled being paid "tops $600 a week" for two episodes, and said she and her castmates received no royalties when re-runs aired ¨C something that changed when the show became unionised.?
"We weren't hugely compensated, and it became so popular that Ħthat's what gave me nightmares. It was sort of overwhelming Ħ like, 'if that show stopped tomorrow I'm going to have to go down the street and become a waitress again'," she said.
Johnson was also "frightened" by some of the behaviour exhibited by adult fans of the show, which she departed in 1995.
"There were a few certain instances during the '90sĦ that were very dangerous, and [they] were sort of stalking a little bit."
Johnson picked up numerous on-screen credits after hanging up her Power Rangers outfit, but her next major role came in 1998 with the wildly popular college drama Felicity.
The actress was cast as Julie, the best friend of titular character Felicity Porter, played by Keri Russell.
Julie was popular among viewers, but Johnson made the tough choice to leave the show in its third season following the death of her mother.
"She got sick when we were doing the pilot and then that summer when we were filming she passed away," she told Page Six.?
"It was just sort of this, like, rollercoaster ride for me emotionally for two years. I think I just needed to go fall apart somewhere."
Fortunately, Johnson was able to make a guest appearance in Felicity's fourth and final season.
After Felicity finished in 2002, Johnson appeared in various movies and TV shows, including Spin City and ER.
She landed another major TV role in 2008 with Flashpoint, a Canadian police procedural drama, playing Constable Jules Callaghan.
The show aired until 2012.
Acting isn't Johnson's only talent; she's also a singer-songwriter with three albums to her name, the most recent released in 2013.
These days, Johnson's focus has shifted behind the camera.
She has directed and produced two short films, Bent and Lines, and the feature films The Space Between and Tammy's Always Dying.
In 2022, she directed an episode of TV series Superman & Lois.
A young Tatum O'Neal was on the fast track - to this day, she remains the youngest Oscar winner in history after being awarded the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1974, for her debut role starring alongside her father, Ryan O'Neal, in Paper Moon (1973).?
But that career high remained just that - a high - with her life troubled by addiction issues and poor family relationships to this day.
Though they starred together in Paper Moon, Tatum did not share a good relationship with her father for most of her life. From a young age, he and her mother, actress Joanna Moore, exposed? the young girl to the dark side of Hollywood, who even admitted to beginning use of cocaine at age 15.
Though she tried to maintain the momentum of her Oscar win, starring in The Bad News Bears (1976), International Velvet (1978), Little Darlings (1980), and more, by the mid '80s, roles for her dried up and she turned to more drug use to cope with her failing career.
In the meantime she had met tennis player John McEnroe, marrying him in 1986 and having three children with him, Kevin, Sean and Emily. However, the pair were ultimately incompatible, separating in 1992 and divorcing in 1994. Following the divorce, O'Neal's drug problems came to a head and McEnroe was given custody of their children.?
This was just the wake-up call O'Neal needed and she worked hard at sobriety for the sake of her children, winning back partial custody of them and also finding her way back to Hollywood. She began the 2000s with a number of guest roles on shows such as Sex and the City (2003), 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter (2004), and Law & Order: Criminal Intent (2004), before gaining some stability with a permanent role in the firehouse drama Rescue Me (2005).?
She continued on to more roles in Wicked Wicked Games (2006), The Runaways (2010), God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness (2018), with her latest role in 2021 being Not to Forget.
In 2011, she got the chance to face one of her biggest traumas head-on - her damaged relationship with her father. Oprah Winfrey helped the father and daughter reconcile in a documentary series titled Ryan and Tatum: The O'Neals. Though they didn't do so immediately, they now regularly appear at events together and post pictures on social media together.
Tatum admits to her drug problems, but one near-fatal turn in 2020 made her come to her senses.?
"I was an addict my whole life," she told People recently, "[It's been] pretty much on and off, for the past 30 to 40 years."
In May of 2020, the Oscar winner overdosed and "almost died" after suffering a severe stroke and cardiac arrest, before being induced into a six-week coma. After she woke from it, she could no longer speak or communicate. She had to re-learn how to read and write, with her memory and vocabulary, though regained, still impaired.
For her children, this incident was one "we'd always been waiting forĦThere were times we didn't think she was going to survive," her son Kevin, now 37, told People.?
Three years on from the ordeal, he says his mother is trying hard to recover.?
"This last chapter where she wants to live, wants to get sober, wants to learn, I think it's a miracle. I think it's beautiful,
"I've never been more proud to be her son. She's full of love and full of heart."?
The actress reiterated her son's hope: "I've been trying to get sober my whole life," she said, "Every day, I am trying."

We know him now as the little Hobbit frolicking around Hobbiton, but he was just a little boy with big dreams - dreams that were crushed by one very blunt director.?
A nine year old Elijah Wood was trying to make it as a child actor in Hollywood, auditioning for a part as a kid in The Kindergarten Cop, when he was told what no actor - at any age - wants to hear.?
Director Ivan Reitman had told Wood at the time that his performance was not believable, which Wood later said was "a harsh thing to say to a nine-year-old."?
He eventually made it into films, starting with Avalon (1990), Forever Young (1992),?The Adventures of Huck Finn (1993), The Good Son (1993), and many more.
He caught his biggest break at age 20 in the Lord of the Rings films, gaining top billing alongside big actors like Ian McKellan, Orlando Bloom, and Cate Blanchett. The trilogy has since become one of the most fantasy film series of all time and has become what is known as Wood's magnum opus.
Following the success of the fantasy series, he tried to graduate to more mature roles, in projects such as Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004), Sin City (2005), and even some children's media like Happy Feet (2006) and Spyro (2006).
Nowadays he is known for his quirkier works, such as I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore (2017), Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency (2016-2017), and more. His latest most renowned work is the thriller Yellowjackets (2023).?
He has since also settled down with his partner,?Danish film producer Mette-Marie Kongsved, becoming a dad of two to a four year old son and a one year old daughter.
Now, Wood's biggest contribution to pop culture has had its time, coming full circle to be rebooted - much to his surprise.??
"I don't know why I'm surprised because, of course there would be more movies," he told GQ magazine.
Wood acknowledged that while there is a commercial aspect to films that can often overpower the intended message, he insists the iconic trilogy he was a part of was made with heart.
"It came out of a passion for these books and wanting to see them realised," Wood said.?
"And I hope that that is ultimately what will drive everything forward with whatever these subsequent movies are. I just hope that it's the same motivating factor at its core, whenever they hire a screenwriter and a filmmakerĦŞthat it is with reverence for Tolkien's material and enthusiasm to explore it."
It's very unlikely you won't remember this face.
Tami Erin rose to fame in the 1980s, playing the title role of Pippi Longstocking in The New Adventures of Pippi Longstocking in 1988.
It wasn't an easy plight to become the face of the '80s hit film.
Erin was amongst 8000 girls who auditioned for the role.
"I've never seen anyone who radiates sunshine like she does," said writer-director Ken Annakin in a 1986 interview.
"Her eyes sparkle, and when she smiles, everybody feels happy."
After being chosen for the role, Erin played a titular, precocious nine-year-old who is left stranded with her horse and monkey after her father's ship is carried off by a sudden storm.
The trio take up residence in an old family home, which is thought by neighbourhood children to be haunted.
Two more children befriend ?the crew, and get into various adventures together.
