A look back at some of the most talented breakout stars through the years.
1960: Janet Leigh
Fans were surely scared to take showers after seeing her terrifying scene in Psycho.
1961: Audrey Hepburn
What's more glamorous than Hepburn in this black dress, cigarette holder placed elegantly in hand, jewelry dripping from her neck as Holly Golightly in Breakfast at Tiffany's? She can look put-together yet convey loneliness so perfectly.
1962: Rita Moreno
Moreno won the Oscar for her breathtaking portrayal of Anita in West Side Story.
1963: Elizabeth Taylor
She proved her worth as the lead in Cleopatra, whose $1 million budget made it the most expensive movie of its time.
1964: Julie Andrews
She was Mary Poppins, the perfect nanny who knew that a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down. It also helped her win an Oscar.
1965: Elizabeth Montgomery
Bewitched entered its second season in 1965 and Montgomery continued to, well, bewitch fans with her twitching nose.
1966: Diana Ross
Ross was the star of The Supremes and, later, her own solo career. When every song you sing becomes a bona fide hit, maybe you're an It girl for life.
1967: Aretha Franklin
"Respect" ruled the Billboard charts in 1967, an anthem of womanhood and strength. And that's just one of the hits she released that year!
1967: Faye Dunaway
Giving new (or, come to think of it, old) meaning to the term "ride-or-die" couple, Dunaway starred with Warren Beatty in Bonnie and Clyde.
1968: Barbra Streisand
After starring as Fanny Brice on Broadway, Streisand took the role to Hollywood for the movie version of Funny Girl, belting "Don't Rain on My Parade" and earning an Oscar for her incredible performance.
1969: Carol Burnett
Burnett is a comedy legend. Her classic program The Carol Burnett Show boasted its highest ratings in 1969.
1970: Ali MacGraw
Love Story, a tragic romance, became a huge hit and brought the phrase "love means never having to say you're sorry" into the parlance. MacGraw played the beautiful, doomed lead and broke everyone's heart in the best possible way.
1971: Tina Turner
Turner always gave electrifying performances, but her cover of "Proud Mary" (with Ike) took the cake, starting slow and building to pure euphoria. The single was released on their album "Workin' Together."
1972: Carly Simon
Simon released "You're So Vain," one of the best revenge songs in the game (past or present), providing women everywhere with a great way to say "eff you" to their ex.
1973: Liza Minnelli
Minnelli won an Oscar in '73 for her work in Cabaret. Watch her performance of the title song here to understand why.
1974: Pam Grier
With the most enviable hair and wardrobe in the game, Grier's Foxy Brown kicked ass and looked confident as hell doing so.
1975: Donna Summer
Summer kicked off her legacy as the "Queen of Disco" in '75, with the release of "Love to Love You Baby."
1976: Farrah Fawcett
Fawcett skyrocketed to fame with Charlie's Angels. A People article declared her everyone's favorite angel because of her "wholesome, she-leopard sexiness."
1977: Diane Keaton
Seeing Keaton in that suit in Annie Hall is still a life-changing event for many young women trying to figure out their sense of style and self.
1978: Olivia Newton-John
As Sandy in Grease she was the good-girl-next-door turned bad-boys-dream. Was the musical maybe an indictment of the way women have to change to accommodate men? LOL, no. But the songs were fun and Newton-John dazzled.
