Fresh off the stellar success of The Bodyguard (the film and the album) Whitney Houston was the talk of the town in 1993, sharing a PEOPLE’s Most Beautiful cover with Cindy Crawford, Andrew Shue, and Catherine Deneuve.

The late legend was 30 at the time and would go on to star in Waiting to Exhale, Cinderella, and The Preacher’s Wife. She would also put out more top-selling albums.

Houston died in February 2012, just a few months before her last film, Sparkle, debuted.
