Ferris Bueller Stars Now and Then
Ferris Bueller's doe-eyed beau was played by Mia Sara.  "Bueller" was only Sara's second movie after starring opposite Tom  Cruise in "Legend." Since then, she's appeared in a number of TV movies  and miniseries, crossing over occasionally into feature films, such as  the 1994 Jean-Claude Van Damme sci-fi thriller "Timecop." Most recently,  she can be seen as Princess Landwidere in "The Witches of Oz.
 The boyishly handsome Matthew Broderick  was already an A-lister by the time "Ferris Bueller" came out, having  already starred in "WarGames" and "Ladyhawke." Since then, he's had  starred in the Oscar-winning Civil War drama "Glory; did the voice for  adult Simba in "The Lion King; and gave a memorably creepy turn as a  hapless teacher in "Election." Currently, Broderick is shooting the  upcoming action comedy "Tower Heist," opposite Eddie Murphy and Ben  Stiller. Of course, he's also well known these days for being married to  Ms. Carrie Bradshaw herself, Sarah Jessica Parker.
 Alan Ruck  was actually 29 when he played Ferris's 17-year-old hypochondriac best  friend, Cameron Frye. Since then, he's done a lot of work on television,  including a leading role in the series "Spin City" opposite Michael J.  Fox. He's also done a lot of stage work, including the part of Leo Bloom  in the Broadway version of "The Producers" -- a role first made famous  by his "Bueller co-star Matthew Broderick.
 Jennifer Grey's  memorable turn as Ferris's seething jealous older sister, Jeanie,  nabbed her the starring role as Baby in "Dirty Dancing." Her star seemed  like it was on the rise until she underwent one of the most infamous  rhinoplasties in Hollywood. Overnight, her signature schnozz went from  distinctive to cute but forgettable. Close friends didn't even recognize  her post-nose job. Since then, she's worked on TV and even starred as  herself in the failed L.A.-based sitcom "It's Like, You Know..." Most  recently, she's been in the headlines after winning the 11th season of  "Dancing With the Stars."
 Charlie Sheen  played a drug-addled truant who chats up Jeanie in "Ferris Bueller."  Critics called his quietly unhinged performance as being one of the best  in the movie. Since then, he went on to star in "Wall Street" and  "Major League," but he recently has been getting much more press with  his unhinged performance as a drug-addled truant television star who  engaged in a very public battle with the creators of "Two and a Half  Men."
