PEOPLE in the '90s

From Total Recall to Titanic to all those July 4th Will Smith movies, we’re talking 90s summer blockbusters. (The ones without sequels.) Then we talk to Jamie Lee Curtis about her PEOPLE cover story from August 22, 1994. She explains why she'll never write a memoir, but does kindly take us behind the scenes of her own major '90s hit True Lies and explains why she thought she wasn't going to have much of a career past 1995. And as for her iconic strip tease in front of Arnold Schwarzenegger? Choreographed it herself. (Her dress at this year's Golden Globes? She says she paid for it herself.) Oh, and remember the Snapple Lady?

On the cover of PEOPLE's March 12, 1990 issue: "Most Wanted Woman" Paula Abdul. The pop icon didn't bring MC Skat Kat to our show but she did bring some hot '90s dish. Her relationships with Arsenio Hall and John Stamos. The very strange place where "Straight Up" was recorded. The plane crash she says sidelined her for seven years. (The one people still don't believe happened.) Oh, and remember that lipsynching pop duo Milli Vanilli?

On the cover of PEOPLE's Sept. 9, 1991 issue: The cast of Beverly Hills, 90210, "TV's Hottest Teens." We flip through that issue with Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth — and then go deeper into the zipcode. From the seminal 1993 episode "Donna Martin graduates," to who sends the dirty memes on the cast's group text chain, to who's still a "Brenda" IRL, the best friends on-screen and off break down the cultural context of the greatest teen drama ever. Oh, and remember when every hot actor and actress had three names?

Cindy Crawford and Richard Gere were rightly declared the Sexiest Couple Alive in PEOPLE's Oct. 18, 1993 issue. But don't forget Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz. Or Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow (Or Brad and Jen!). We break down the hottest duos of the decade and then talk to model and actress Elizabeth Hurley about her life in the ‘90s: Hugh Grant, THAT dress, and her fave ‘90s couple, David and Victoria Beckham. Oh, and remember Planet Hollywood?
