With Bonnie Tyler’s recent passing, it was recalled that she performed her hit song “Holding Out for a Hero,” on Night of 100 Stars, a glittering televised variety special in 1982, featuring around 230 stars, despite its name suggesting 100, held at New York's Radio City Music Hall.
The event celebrated the 100th anniversary of the Actors' Fund of America, a charitable organization supporting performers, and included contributions from ticket sales, which ranged from $25 to $1,000, with proceeds benefiting the Actors Fund retirement home in Englewood, New Jersey.
During her number, Tyler was joined by several top athletes of the 1980s, such as Olympic gold medalist diver Greg Louganis, among others, in an energetic dance number.
The show won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Program at the 34th Primetime Emmy Awards.
