It was announced yesterday that MTV would be reviving House of Style, it’s “iconic fashion series,” in the words of one overeager Entertainment Weekly article (is there any other kind?). The series, which began in 1989 and lasted throughout the 1990s before finally being cancelled in 2000, was one of MTV’s non-musical trademark series, right up there with sexy softcore soap opera Undressed, the favorite show of 14 year old boys without the Internet everywhere. It was wonderful, and unbeknownst to everyone then, the series was actually a big break for a fair number of actors and actresses who are still working today. Here are 13 of the most notable. (I tried to include screenshots from Undressed, but considering only season one and half of season two are available online, with no DVD release date forthcoming, you’ll just have to imagine Gunn from Angel without his shirt on. Sorry?)
