1980s sex symbol, 79, looks unrecognisable in cowboy boots 40 years after horror movie fame – can you guess who she is?

A EIGHTIES sex symbol looks unrecognisable at 79 as she rocked cowboy boots while being spotted.

The star shot to fame four decades ago after starring in smash-hit horror movies that are still watched to this day.

Her first horror outing came when she played the role of Stevie Wayne in The Fog, released in 1980.

She went on to play lead roles in Escape from New York and Creep Show.

Before her move into the scary movies, she was the original Rizzo in Broadway musical Grease in the 70s.

But 40 years on Adrienne Barbeau still looks incredible as she donned cowboy boots while out in Los Angeles this week.

The 79-year-old wore a knitted sweater and paired it with light blue denim jeans.

She was snapped at the airport, after having lunch with her pals at the Chin Chin restaurant.

Adrienne has also had key roles in 2012’s Argo, American Horror Stories, General Hospital and a guest role in Sons of Anarchy, Criminal Minds and Revenge among others. 

Meanwhile, earlier this year Cannonball Run stars Adrienne and Tara Buckman were snapped with the iconic Lamborghini Countach LP 400 S, which they drove in the movie. 

Cannonball Run, released in June 1981, saw the ladies star as Marcie Thatcher and Jill Rivers, two Spandex-clad racers who enter a cross-country car race starting in Connecticut. 

For the race, they chose the Black Lambo for style as well as substance. 

They starred opposite Burt Reynolds who played competing racer, JJ McClure, with Dean Martin, Sammy Davis Jr., Jackie Chan and Farrah Fawcett also making an appearance.
