People achieve fame for a wide range of reasons: they land starring roles in the most popular films and TV shows, reach the top of the music charts, lead social movements, or marry a famous celebrity. The world's most powerful female symbols have varied from pop singers and A-list performers to first ladies and sports athletes over the years. On the other hand, starlets such as Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton, and Anna Nicole Smith became famous just for being famous with ostensibly no distinct reason.
We've compiled a list of some of the most renowned women in seventies and eighties pop culture to produce this quiz. See if you can identify these female celebrities who were famous or infamous during those colorful decades. Whether you like their work or not, there is no doubt that these famous ladies have left their mark on pop culture for several decades to come.
