“The Princess Bride” Came Out 30 Years Ago And Here’s What The Cast Looks Like Now

4. Carol Kane (Magical Max’s wife)

Carol Kane played Max’s wife and assistant, Valerie, who gets a little fed up with her hubby’s wisecracks: “I’m not a witch, I’m your wife. But after what you just said, I’m not even sure I want to be that anymore!” Kane – who’s much younger than her wizened “Bride” character – has starred in “Annie Hall,” “Scrooged” and “Four Christmases,” among many other films. She’s also known for her role as the wife of Andy Kaufman’s character on “Taxi.” Kane played Madame Morrible in the Broadway musical “Wicked,” which she’s reprised several times in other productions. For her most recent role, the actress appeared in the 2012 indie hit “Sleepwalk With Me” with Mike Birbiglia.

5. Christopher Guest (Count Tyrone Rugen)

The sardonic Count Tyrone Rugen – aka The Man with Six Fingers – was played by Christopher Guest. A true villain, he’s invented the torture machine that sucks away years from people’s lives. Yikes! Guest is known for his hilarious, largely improvised “mockumentaries,” including “Waiting for Guffman,” “Best in Show” and “A Mighty Wind,” which he casts with the same troupe of actors. His most enduring role is metal guitarist Nigel Tufnel in the 1984 rock spoof “This is Spinal Tap”; the “band” got back together this spring for a real-life anniversary tour. On the personal front, Guest has been married to actress Jamie Lee Curtis for over 30 years.

6. Andre the Giant (Fezzik)

Pro wrestler Andre the Giant played Fezzik, who’s supposedly the menacing muscle for Vizzini’s crew but eventually uses his vast strength and sweet nature to fight for the good guys. Andre, born in France as Andre Rene Roussimoff, was around seven feet tall and was famous in the wrestling world for his feud with Hulk Hogan in the late 1980s. Other screen credits include “Conan the Destroyer,” an appearance on the “Zorro” TV series, and the movie “Trading Mom.” Roussimoff died in his sleep in 1993 at the age of 46.
