Hey Y'all,
How many videos can you think of that had a 'guest' celebrity actually in the video (other than artist(s) singing) or co-star celebrity?
Here's some I remember:

Danny Aiello - Papa Don't Preach
Leon - Like A Prayer
Chevy Chase - You Can Call Me Al
Kids from Goonies - Goonie 'R' Good Enough
Debi Mazar - Papa Don't Preach & True Blue
Christy Brinkley - Uptown Girl
David Keith - Whoever's In New England
David Carradine - Material Girl
Robert Wuhl - Material Girl
Michael J. Fox - Julian Lenon video (?)

Rodney Dangerfield was in Lionel Richie's "Dancing on the Ceiling"
Paul McCartney was in Tracey Ullman's "They Don't Know"
Courtney Cox in "Dancing in the Dark" by Bruce Springsteen
Paula Abdul was in Janet Jackson's "Nasty" video
The "Ghostbusters" video had a whole host of celebrities, including Chevy Chase, Mayor Ed Koch and Carly Simon.

80sTrivia: Official Stalker of DD86 & jen* :D

Sam Kinison was at the beginning of Bon Jovi's "Bad Medicine" video (I think it was that video).

I think this came out in '89....

Straight Up by Paula Abdul had Arsinio Hall.

Does Jessica Hahn in Sam Kinison's Wild Thing video count?

Milton Berle in "Round and Round" by Ratt.

Robin Williams was in Bobby McFerrin's "Don't Worry be Happy." Was there another celebrity in that one?

Nikki Sixx & Tommy Lee In Ratt's Back for More
Paul Stanley In Poison's I Won't Forget You
Freddy Kruger In Dokken's Dream Warriors
Ozzy In Anthrax's Anti Social
Sam Kinison In Motley Crue's Kickstart My Heart

Yeah Recker, that would be Bill Irwin. He was also in "Popeye" (1980) with Robin Williams, guest starred a few times on "Third Rock From The Sun" as 'Pickes', and recently played Lou Lou Who (Cindi Lou Who's father) in Ron Howard's "How The Grinch Stole Christmas".

How about Courtney Cox in Springsteens Dancing in the Dark, eventhough she wasn't a celibrity then :)

Rosanna Arquette was in the video for "Sara" by Starship.

"Goonies R Good Enough" also featured Steven Spielberg.

The cast of "St. Elmo's Fire" in the video for "Man In Motion" by John Parr.

Do these count?

John "outofplacechild" Kilduff

Besides the aforementioned Rodney Dangerfield, Cheech Marin was also in "Dancing On The Ceiling".

I almost forgot.

Rosanna was the subject of Toto's Rosanna! Does that count? (Even though she didn't appear in the video.... or did she?)

No, Rosanna wasn't in the Toto video. Word has it that she is
mortified that this song is about her, though I don't know quite why. Seems to me it would be an honor to be immortalized in a pop song. I think she should be more mortified by her appearance in several movies lately!!!

80sTrivia: Official Stalker of DD86 & jen* :D

Wasn't the actress Cynthia Rhodes of "Flashdance" & "Dirty Dancing" fame in the Roseanna video?

I think Cynthia was in that video, Trix. She was also in "Don't Mean Nothing" by Richard Marx, and he later married her. Trivia side note: Cynthia Rhodes also replaced New Wave diva Astrid Plane when she left Animotion.

Bobbi Brown was also in Great White's "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" video, as well as some other vids by metal boys.

We mustn't forget Tawny Kitaen's appearances in the Whitesnake videos "Here I Go Again" and "Is It Love?"... :D

80sTrivia: Official Stalker of DD86 & jen* :D

Oscar Wilde (well, a poster of him) in The Smiths video for "Stop Me If You Think That You've Heard This One Before"

one of my favorite smiths' videos.

She Was Also In "Still Of The Night"

I forgot that Donald Sutherland portrayed Kate Bush's Albert Einstein-esque father in the video masterpiece "Cloudbusting". I saw this video on VH-1 Classics today, and I had forgotten what a great song this was!!!

Also, British comic actors Hugh Laurie and Dawn French are in Kate's video, "Experiement VI".

I can't remember who said this, but Rosanna Arquette is the subject of "Rosanna", because she was the girlfriend of one of the members (can't remember who). Also, she wasn't in the video for Starship's, "Sara". I can't remember who the actress is (Rebecca Demorne? (sp)).

Pat Benatar and Father Guido Sarducci (Don Norvello) were both in the video for "Rappin' Rodney" by Rodney Dangerfield.
Ringo Starr was in a lot of Paul McCartney's videos including, "So Bad".

Thomas Dolby was in Lene Lovich's video, "New Toy".

Johnny Depp & Faye Dunaway in Into the Great Wide Open- Tom Petty
Keanu Reeves in a Paula Abdul video
Jason Priestly & Jennifer Connolly in a Roy Orbinson Video
Chevy Chase in a Paul Simon video

Also, she wasn't in the video for Starship's "Sara"-quoted from BlueMolly2001.

Screw me! God, what an idiot I am!

I knew it wouldn't last. I knew that my new positive attitude wouldn't last. Right back where I started from...Shit! Damn my memory!

BlueMolly, I bow at your feet. I am scum.

Wasn't that Christopher Reeves in the 'Don't Worry Be Happy' video? Maybe I'm remembering it wrong...

I was watching VH-1 Classics this morning and noticed that Bananarama have a blink-and-you-miss-it appearance in the Eurythmics video for "Who's That Girl?" (not to be confused with the Madonna tune of the same name!). Probably because Siobahn Fahey was dating Dave Stewart at the time and they later married!!!

Who's That Girl? The Ultimate Madonna Trivia Book (http://www.iuniverse.com/bookstore/book_detail.asp?isbn=0%2D595%2D21014%2D7)

Another saw-this-on-VH-1-Classics-just-now...Sleeping Bag by ZZ Top has Heather Langenkamp in it. She is the one who played Nancy in a "Nightmare On Elm Street".

I know that it´s almost only a German thing, but...famous ex-porn queen Teresa Orlowski starred in the 'Bitte Bitte'-video of Die Ärzte, their only synth-goth track in their career.

BTW...a song xistenza (for the music) and TC (for the lyrics) would like... :D

Josie Bisset was in Warrant's "Sometimes She Cries" video, before Melrose:D

That music video Paula Abdual did was great! That was one of my faverites.:D :hammer:

Okay, you want Rosanna Arquette, you got her...

She, according to the Internet Movie Database, WAS in a music video. The video?

-"Liberian Girl" by Michael Jackson

Besides Rosanna, the other celebs who appear in the video include:

-Steven Spielberg
-"Weird" Al Yankovic
-Paula Abdul
-Dan Aykroyd
-Debbie Gibson
-Whoopi Goldberg
-Steve Guttenberg
-Jasmine Guy
-Quincy Jones
-Don King
-Olivia Newton-John

-Carl Weathers
-Brigitte Nielsen

Say what you must about the man, but Jacko sure has a packed Rolodex.

John "outofplacechild" Kilduff...

I knew Rosanna had to be in a video.

We had a thread a while back about cameo appearances in 80's videos but I can't find it, mods feel free to move this there if you want.

I was watching VH1 Classics last night when RAY PARKER JR.'S video to the movie GHOSTBUSTERS came on. I had forgotten how many big names had cameo appearances in it. I saw:

DANNY DE VITO
CARLY SIMON
JOHN CANDY
IRENE CARA
CHEVY CHASE
MELISSA GILBERT
GEORGE WENDT
TERI GARR
PATER FALK
and a couple of others (besides Dan Akroyd, Bill Murray, and the other ones that were in the movie)

I hadn't seen the video for years..kind of funny watching it again.

This movie was on HBO a month ago they played it to death. But I have to admitt I watched it everytime it came on :lol:
I really liked it.

I have the movie..this was the VIDEO to the SONG~~GHOSTBUSTERS.

This is an answer long time coming....

"Le Bel Age" is from Pat Benatar's album Seven The Hard Way which is out of print, but a British company released a two album CD set which has Tropico and Seven The Hard Way albums, and "Le Bel Age" is on it.

"Le Bel Age" is also included in these CD's:
All Fired Up: The Very Best Of Pat Benatar
and
Synchronistic Wanderings: Recorded Anthology 1979 to 1999

All are available at CDnow.com and Amazon.com.

How’s about “Animal House’s” Mark Metcalf – (Douglas C. Neidermeyer) in Twisted Sister's “We're Not Gonna Take It”

Yeah, Bananarama was in the Eurythmics "Who's That Girl" video. Also the female members of the British pop group, Bucks Fizz, Marilyn (cross-dressed British male singer) and the female half of Hayssi Fantazee (can't remember her name off the top of my head right at the moment) are all in the video.

Actress Julienne Philips (ex-wife of Bruce Springsteen) was in .38 Special's "If I'd Been The One" video. She later starred in the TV-series "Sisters".

Twisted Sister's Dee Snider was in Y&T's video "Lipstick & Leather".

Tawny Kitaen was also in Whitesnake's "Fool For your Lovin'" and "The Deeper The Love" videos.

Actor Bobcat Goldthwait was in Twisted Sister's "Leader of The Pack" video.

That's all I can think of for now...

I tell you one that you might not know about. Paula Abdul was in ZZ Top's "Velcro Fly" and she invented a dance that she and Frank, Dusty, and Billy did. No kidding, they said they wanted to start a ZZ Top dance craze.

EDITED to say that I just saw this video on VH1 Classic, and I don't believe that Paula was in it. I have heard her say twice that she was, maybe she just invented the "Velcro Fly" dance. There were three dancers, and one could have been her, but they would have made her much taller somehow for it be her.

I just saw tonight the video Sara by Starship and it was in fact Rebecca De Mornay.
What is funny is all that talk about the song Rosanna by Toto, and people are trying so hard to find Rosanne Arquette in this video that nobody seems to notice that one of the dancer is Patrick Swayze. (I know because I have the video).

Hi everybody. Great discussion over here, on a topic I write a little about on my site (http://www.u-blog.net/GenerationClips) talking about music videos. I learn a little bit more. And I would indicate you two "rare" guest actors in videos ;) :
- Kay Lenz was in "Infatuation" by Rod Stewart;
- Donald Sutherland was in "Cloudbusting" by Kate Bush;

And from my frenchy side, there was in the 80s :
- Claude Brasseur & Gérad Jugnot in "Hold up" by Louis Chedid;

More recently (not the 80s!), you have :
- Christopher Walken was in "Praise" by Fat Boy Slim;
- Marlon Brando & Chris Tucker were in "You rock my world" by M.Jackson;

No answer from your part? No matter. I've discovered another great actor in an old video front the 80's : Matt Dillon, in "Ferrytale of N.Y" by the Pogues. He's playing a cop arresting someone in his old black&white video.
And I correct myself : C. Walken was not in "Praise" Fat Boy Slim video, but in... "Weapon of choice"! Sorry. :yesnod:

Hello,
The dancers from Electric boogaloo the movie,were in many 80's videos including: Al night Long (L.richie),I feel for you(Shaka khan) etc...Also dancers from the rock steady crew(breakdance veterans) were in the flashdance video ("what a feeling")

Milton Berle was in RATT's "Round And Round" video. I didn't see that one mentioned yet.

How’s about “Animal House’s” Mark Metcalf – (Douglas C. Neidermeyer) in Twisted Sister's “We're Not Gonna Take It”

That was actually a take-off of Animal House. Stephen Furst (who is best known for his doctor role on St. Elsewhere and who also played Kent Dorfmann in Animal House as well) appeared alongside Mark Metcalf in Twisted Sister's follow-up video 'I Wanna Rock'

others we mustn't forget:

Rob Lowe appears in the Go-Go's video 'Turn to You'
Gina Gershon appears in the Cars' video 'Hello Again'
WWF figures Capt. Lou Albano, Rowdy Roddy Piper, Nikolai Volkoff and King Kong Bundy appear in Cyndi Lauper's video 'Goonies R Good Enough'
Danny Devito, Kathleen Turner and Michael Douglas all appear as backup singers in Billy Ocean's video 'When the Going Gets Tough'
E.G. Dailey (who sang the HUGE 1985 hit 'Say it Say it' was seen in the film Streets of Fire and an episode of Friends as Phoebe's singing partner) appears in Rod Stewart's video 'Young Turks'
Trevor Horn (famed Buggles singer and ZZT producer) appears in ABC's 'Look of Love' video
Robert Townsend, Mykelti Williamson (Bubba and his shrimp boat from Forrest Gump) and Grand L. Bush (he was in the tv series Fame and played Balrog in the Street Fighter movie) appear in the video 'I Can Dream About You' by Dan Hartman which is pretty much just footage from the Streets of Fire movie
Lela Rochon (she was in the movie Waiting to Exhale among others) was seen in Lionel Richie's 'All Night Long' video

Billy Joel's 1983 video for 'Uptown Girl' had his future wife Christie Brinkley in it, they were married in 1985 til 1994.
Tracey Ullman's re-working of the Madness song 'My Girl' had the British Politician Neil Kinnock (former Labour party leader) as 'My Guy'. :)

Lesley Ann Warren in Aerosmith's "Janie's Got A Gun" (My favorite video ever, by the way)

Milton Berle was in Ratt's Back for more video (i believe this is the one hey crashes intot he building on a motorbike)
Paulina Portwhateverhernameis lmao in CAr's Drive video (Rik Occasiks wife (sp)

There was a black supermodel (can't think of her name now) in the 1991 Michael Jackson video "In the closet".

Billy Joel's wife and little girl make a 2 second appearance in the video "I go to extremes".

And I was thinking (although I'm not sure) that Daniel Day Lewis appeared in Annie Lennox's video, Walking on Broken glass.
