TruffleShuffle Pays Tribute to Robin Williams
A very sad day here at TruffleTowers, we recently learnt about the passing of one of our most-loved and globally cherished Oscar-winning actors and comedian Robin Williams.
Over the years and for as long as we can remember, he has given us some of the very best movie characters and performances. He was surely one of the greatest performers ever and has been described by many as a genius in his field. He will be greatly and deeply missed by all.
To help celebrate this great man and pay tribute to his outstanding career, we thought we would put together just a few of our favourite moments and characters for all to see. Take a look at some of our top Robin Williams memories and relive these classic moments....

Good Morning, Vietnam (1987)
Like…Clueless is Totally 19 years old Today! So where are they now?
Can you believe it! The film that gave us some of the most classic 90s quotes, clothing, names and of course moments turns 19 years old TODAY!
As hard....or perhaps just scary as it is to think, this 90s retro icon was released back in 1995 in the US of A which to us seems like just a few years ago, turns out to be nearly passing the two decades ago mark! EEEP!
So we all know far too much to be healthy about this classic film, but do you know where some of this amazing cast are today?
We'll, in fairness we sure didn't, so we decided to do a little digging and share with you all what we found during out exploration.
Sit back, relax and take a look at our Clueless....
Where are they now?
Yo, Happy Birthday 68th Sylvester Stallone!
What a man! Yes action-movie hero and all round machine of a man Sylvester Stallone celebrate his 68th Birthday today and we thought, what better time to celebrate a real retro icon!
.
Possibly the ultimate self-made movie star, Stallone has been with us is some of the biggest films (with the biggest budgets) ever and has made himself into some of the most iconic characters through the 70s and 80s and still knows how to do his thing today!
Writing, directing and staring, he has paved the way for his success at every step of the way. After he saw Muhammad Ali fight Chuck Wepner in 1975, deeply inspired, Stallone ran home and three days later had a script for "Rocky.". Amazing stuff and a real turning point in his life which also earned 10 Academy Award nominations and a place in our top movie collections.
It's been a real K.O. of a career for the actor, producer, director, musician, sometimes painter and Boxing Hall of Fame member. So much so we thought we would help remind you guys of just what amazing characters, films and even scenes he has given us over the years. Take a look at some of our personal Sylvester highlights....
Guest Post: Now This is a Story All About How…to Ace the 90s Revival Look!
For some of us it doesnât seem so long ago when Top of the Pops was overrun with Britpop bands, you had your hair cut like Rachel from Friends and Saturday night TV was about watching celebrities getting gunged. But believe it or not, enough time has passed for the 90s style to come swinging in with full neon glory back into fashion again.
.
As we all know with this decade, this is tricky territory, as a step too far can turn you into Edina from Ab Fab. So whether you were watching Mighty Morphin Power Rangers or Men Behaving Badly at the time, here are some fashion icons of the era you should be taking notice of if you want to get the 90s revival look right. Enjoy!
Cher Horowitz
Starting with the ultimate 90s fashion icon, Cher from 90s smash hit Clueless. The most popular girl in Bronson Alcott High School, she had the lifestyle, the attitude and was always perfectly dressed for the occasion - with the help of some awesome virtual wardrobe software that I still to this day wish I had. This summer, if youâre going to rock the 90s revival look, channel Cher and go for cute matching two piece suits for the office and a strappy top worn over a t-shirt for the gym.

Goonies: Where are they 29 years on....
HEY YOU GUYS! 80s cult classic, The Goonies, a story about a band of pre-teens who live in the "Goon Docks" neighbourhood of Astoria, Oregon attempt to save their homes from demolition, and in doing so, discover an old Spanish map that leads them on an adventure to unearth the long-lost fortune of One-Eyed Willie, a legendary 17th-century pirate turns 29 today!!!
To celebrate such an important birthday in TruffleShuffle's calendar we wanted to bring some Goonies-love to the blog. But since we've already shown you how to do the TruffleShuffle and discussed 5 Things You Didn't Know About The Goonies, I thought (with a Goonies sequel in the pipeline) we'd catch up with the some of the stars.... Come with us as we investigate what became of the cast of the 1985's The Goonies.
Sean Astin â Michael 'Mikey' Walsh
Sean Astin played the adventurous Mikey, who led the gang on their hunt for One-Eyed Willie's treasure, and his experience of quests stood him in good stead for his highest profile post-Goonies role, as Samwise Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings. As well as Hobbiting it up, Sean nabbed himself an Oscar nomination with his wife for their short film Kangaroo Court (1994), starred in 24, as well as other hit TV shows including My Name Is Earl and most recently became the voice for Raphael in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Happy Birthday Michael J. Fox! Our Top M.J Movies....

Bringing us so many classics, it's hard to be and 80s kid and not love him and his classic movies. Take a peep at some of our top moments from his amazing career....
