As the 80s gave way to the 90s, Gibson largely stayed true to type until 1994 when her songs took on a decidedly sultrier tone. Gibson had become bored of being looked at like butter wouldn't melt in her mouth and wanted to show the world that she'd grown up. The change in style wasn't to everybody's taste, but it kept her on the news and in the charts.
The mid 90s also saw her branch out into acting, with roles on 'Beverley Hills 90210' and 'Step by Step.' Music remained her first love though, and she found herself returning to it for the 21st century. When she was struggling to get the attention of the industry press in 2005, she seized it firmly by posing nude for Playboy. It worked. These days Gibson is still releasing music, but you're equally as likely to find her on a Broadway stage. Not yet even 50, she has plenty of entertainment left to give us.
