’80s pinup who worked with Harrison Ford and wed an Oscar-winner still looks stunning at 71… who is she?

This blonde bombshell was a thriving movie star in the 1980s.

The looker from Fort Worth, Texas worked with Harrison Ford, Michael Douglas, Andy Garcia, Richard Gere and Sam Elliott.

But then the classy cutie started a romance with an Oscar-winning director while on set with him.

And eventually the two got married, had kids, and they remain married today.

She has stayed out of the spotlight in recent years, though she sometimes gets glammed up to join her very busy spouse on the red carpet. And often she stays busy with her side career as a painter.

Her A-list pals include Jennifer Aniston and Riya Wilson. 

On Sunday this throwback pinup was seen out with her dog as she bunded up in New York City by herself.

Can you guess who she is?
