Suzanne Somers

From stylish nights abroad to glamorous galas back home in Hollywood, April 1981 was star-studded from the start.

At this time 43 years ago, Bono and his U2 bandmates performed in Detroit on their first U.S. tour of many, and Prince Charles was meeting children on a royal visit down in New Zealand. Jodie Foster made the transition from child star to Ivy League freshman at Yale University, while fellow teen celebs Brooke Shields and Lori Loughlin steadily carried on in the showbiz spotlight. Over in L.A., a smiley Suzanne Somers waved to cameras after dining at a longtime celebrity hotspot.

From Beverly Hills to the streets of Manhattan, travel back in time to see what the hottest stars of the decade were up to in April 1981.
