Lauper kicked off the 1990s by getting married to actor David Thornton in 1991. Unlike the majority of celebrity marriages, they've stayed together, and have one child. Lauper's body of work is prolific; she's never slowed down and still shows no signs of doing so at 65 years old. As well as her singing, she's appeared in numerous films and television shows, as well as a memorable stint on 'Celebrity Apprentice.'
Far from peaking during the 80s, you could make a case that Lauper entered her prime within the past decade, which has seen her win both a Grammy Award and a Tony Award. They'll sit nicely in her trophy cabinet alongside her Emmy Award for 'Mad About You' in the mid-90s. Every bit the style icon today that she was all those years ago and revered by the LGBT community, we hope Lauper is still inspiring us into the 2020s.
