The girl from the a-ha videos

[kingcreole]

a-ha had videos? As in plural? I thought they were the quintessential one-hit wonder.

The girl in Elton John's "Nikita" video, Anya Major, is also the hammer thrower in Apple's famous 1984 commercial.

Did you guys know that Courtney Cox is the girl in the "Dancing in the Dark" video?

That would be Betsy Lynn George. (Do none of you people know how to use google? Helena Christiansen I knew, but the girl from Rock the Cradle of Love, I had to look that one up.)

Betsy Lynn was also good in The Client.






































The 1996 TV show.

"Girls from videos" pretty much ended with Alicia Silverstone.

The ones I had the hots for were the girl from the Bryan Adams "Cuts Like A Knife" video, and the girl from Chris Isaaks "Wicked Game" video.

Also, FWIW, I thought Terri Nunn was smoking hot in Berlin's "The Metro" video.

That was model Helena Christiansen in Wicked Game, the ex-wife of Norman Reedus, thus proving he did accomplish something in life before playing a badass on Walking Dead.

The girl in the "Cuts Like a Knife" video was named Raquel Pena. The only thing you can find if you google her is this quote from a Facebook page:

And a tidbit from Richard Marx that she made a brief appearance in one of his videos.

Don't want to Google this girl, because I'm afraid of what she looks like now. I'd rather not know.

The "Take On Me" video is riffed on nicely by a current VW commercial.

Tawny Kitaen, Stephanie Seymour, Rachel Hunter, those were memorable video girls.

The babe in Billy Joel's Uptown Girl video was pretty hot.

I remember reading the testimony of Christie Brinkley's most recent divorce. Her soon-to-be-ex husband said he spent $1,800 a month on online porn sites.

$1,800.

The real question was: how could this guy even stay awake for the trial?
