TOM CRUISE AND NICOLE KIDMAN
'MISSION IMPOSSIBLE' FILM PREMIERE, LOS ANGELES, AMERICA - MAY 1996
Nicole looks both very High Fashion 1996 and like a vaguely futurist Clinique counter employee. (I always liked how they wore lab coats.)

YES THEY DATED. He was 27, she was 38. It was, I believe, a brief dalliance, since he married Lisa Loeb pretty shortly after this, around the time she married Phil Bronstein. She went to a big Zappa event just a few years ago, so it must have been amicable. Anyway, Sharon looks great here.

Martin seriously looks like he's the adult chaperone on this date, even though Emilio is 34 years old here. Fun fact: Both Emilio and Tom Cruise were married to Mimi Rogers.

THAT IS A BLAZER! (The caption here tells me this is Arissa Wolf, his daughter with Kelly "Don't Hate Me Because I'm Beautiful" LeBrock, but Arissa would have only been 3 when this photo was taken. Maybe she's a cousin? A mystery!)

In which Oscar winner Jodie Foster ducks to get out of Jenny McCarthy's shot. (Jenny was, at the time, the co-host of MTV's Singled Out, which I am CONFIDENT has NOT aged well.)

Anthony Hopkins was NOT in this movie. Maybe he just wanted to visit with his old co-star Jodie. Who was also not in it.

I cannot stress how many of us did this hair in 1996, mostly (this time) because of Melrose Place.

This was prior to Ellen coming out. (Melissa, however, was out.) I don't believe they ever officially dated, but were just (are?) just friends. Anyway, they're having a good time!
