Mia Sara, 57, starred with Tom Cruise then was in Ferris Bueller's Day Off, see her now in rare snaps

Mia Sara was a huge movie star in the 1980s. The exotic-looking actress made her big-screen debut opposite Tom Cruise in the fantasy unicorn-seeking adventure Legend in 1985. Then one year later - at the age of 18 - this siren landed a major role in an iconic high school comedy, 1986's Ferris Bueller's Day Off, starring Matthew Broderick. The 57-year-old Hollywood stalwart has continued to work but has rarely been seen. On Monday evening the formerly dark-haired star hit her first red carpet in many years for the premiere of her new movie. She was at The Life Of Chuck screening at Hollywood Legion Theater in Los Angeles with Star Wars veteran Mark Hamill. Born Mia Sarapochiello in Brooklyn, New York, she landed her big break aged 16 with the 1985 fantasy film Legend starring her as a princess and Cruise as a man from the woods. The movie was anchored by Hollywood heavyweights - not just Tom but also director Ridley Scott - and yet turned out to be a flop at the box office. However, one year later, Mia became recognizable all over the country as Sloane Peterson, the girlfriend of mischievous high school senior Ferris Bueller (Matthew Broderick). Ferris gets his famous day off by pretending to be sick, and manages to get Sloane to join him by feeding the school the fake story that her grandmother has died. Upon its release, Ferris Bueller's Day Off became a thunderous box office success and remains one of the best-loved high school comedies to emerge from Hollywood. Shortly after the movie came out, Mia showered praise on both Cruise and Matthew Broderick, whom she noted 'had much more experience' than she did. 'Tom was dedicated and I learned a lot of good work habits from him. And I respected Matt because I had seen him on Broadway. He was one of my favorites,' she told UPI. In the 1990s she featured in such movies as the Melanie Griffith drama A Stranger Among Us - directed by Sidney Lumet of 12 Angry Men fame - as well as the smash hit Jean-Claude Van Damme action movie Timecop. She continued acting on TV Programs like CSI: NY and movies like Dorothy & The Witches of Oz until 2013, when she took a hiatus that ultimately lasted longer than a decade. As early as 2010, she had remarked that she was 'mostly retired' as she had become a 'mother with a really noisy, difficult house to maintain!' The New York native also noted: 'I'm a poet, so for the last couple of years that's what I've been focusing on,' in an interview with Total Film. Mia now has a daughter named Amelia, 20, by her second and current husband Brian Henson, who is the son of The Muppets creator Jim Henson. She also has a 28-year-old son called Dashiell by her first husband Jason Connery, whose father was none other than James Bond legend Sean Connery. After many years away from the movies, she is back with The Life Of Chuck. Mia features amid a star-studded cast including Tom Hiddleston, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Hamill, Jacob Tremblay, Karen Gillan and Nick Offerman. The movie earned a warm response from the critics when it premiered in September at the Toronto International Film Festival, and will be out in theaters soon.

Hamas fighters smash kneecaps of Gazan ‘food thief'... then post video

Hamas fighters have been filmed torturing a man alleged to have stolen food in Gaza. The graphic footage, circulating on social media accounts linked to the terror group, shows several figures standing over a blindfolded man as they use a metal bar to break his knees. The video comes as the terror group attempts to retain control of Gaza. Statements on Hamas -linked channels report multiple 'executions' of Gazans for taking food in recent days. The Strip was under a total blockade from the beginning of March until late May. Reports indicate that parts of the civilian population are approaching starvation. Aid is being distributed from four purpose-built sites in and around the southern area of Rafah via a controversial US private contractor, but the project has got off to a shaky start with reports of chaotic scenes and multiple killings, allegedly by the IDF, which Israel says it is investigating. There are increasing reports of both criminal gangs and ordinary Gazans looting aid lorries and warehouses. Israel said that bypassing the previous aid model – whereby food and supplies would be delivered directly into communities, but was vulnerable to theft by Hamas – is crucial to breaking the terror group's hold over the population. In Tuesday's video, the blindfolded man screams and writhes in agony as his joints are struck multiple times. Other footage that surfaced in recent days appears to show summary killings of civilians. The evidence is not published via official Hamas accounts and is difficult to verify. But the footage is often accompanied by warnings purporting to be from the terror group. One prominent account stated on Tuesday that 'security forces pursued thieves, executed four of them, suppressed 16 others, and shot eight' in central Gaza in the past 48 hours. Others suggested six people had been killed across the Strip. A message said: 'To every thief, every agent, every exploiter, and highway robber... This is our final message before your files are sealed with bullets.' Similar statements speak of 'field sentences' for defiant civilians, many of whom are named on the Telegram social media channel. Last week, it emerged that Hamas militants kidnapped, tortured and killed 22-year-old Oldai Naser Saadi, one of the leaders of the anti-Hamas protest movement in Gaza. He was reportedly tortured for four hours. His body was then dumped at his family's home. Despite the chaos, the Israeli government has lauded the new aid distribution system, delivered by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, as crucial for breaking the 'fear barrier' among the population of Hamas. It is alleged that the terror group physically tried to prevent people from walking to collect aid as well as releasing propaganda against the GHF. The Telegraph has spoken to ordinary Gazans who say they are turning to theft of food from aid trucks because they are so hungry. During the height of the ceasefire in Jan and Feb, approximately 600 vehicles were entering the Strip each day. But figures suggest that over a 12-day period in late May the total number was just over 1,000.
