I can't believe I am saying this, but E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is officially 40 years old! Released on June 11, 1982, this iconic film went on to break massive box office records and became the highest-grossing film of all time (until Spielberg beat his own record with Jurassic Park in 1993).
So, for fun and nostalgia's sake, let's take a little bike ride down memory lane and see what the amazing cast looked like then and now. Enjoy!!!
