Poptastic ...
Took me a while, but it's definitely Sinead O'Connor and very probably Chrissie Hynde.
@qpw3141 & @wowbagger ... yep, spot on!
Sinead O’Connor and Chrissie Hynde at a photocall in 1995 for What Women Want Press Conference, South Bank. - beaten dammit.
That's odd (to me) for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, I've never (knowingly) seen Sinead O'Connor with hair.
Second, the date given above means that she was 29 when that photo was taken. I'd have said she look more 16-18.

Photographed by Martin Schoeller for The New Yorker in 2002
"I was hired by the New Yorker in 2002 to photograph Robin Williams, and after doing my research what stood out most for me was that he was a very physical comedian. I came up with this idea to photograph him swinging from a chandelier in a grand hotel room. Most publicists shoot down these kinds of wild ideas, so I didn't tell anyone what I was up to, but rigged up a chandelier at the Waldorf Astoria hotel for him to swing from.
When Robin got there and saw what was happening, he lifted up his shirt and showed me this enormous scar on his shoulder. He'd just had surgery and couldn't so much as lift his arm. He was so disappointed! He really felt bad about not being able to do it, because he loved the idea and really wanted to help me accomplish my vision. Unlike most Hollywood stars, he was unfazed by his success and position. He talked to everyone from stylists to the crew, to the hotel staff.
We ended up asking a maid at the hotel to swing from the chandelier instead, and I asked him to just sit there and read a newspaper, which I think in the end was an even funnier, more unexpected picture."
Oh, my ... (right-click / new-tab, to zoom in) ... the more you look, the more you see! ?
In 1987, Paramount Pictures was celebrating its historic 75th Anniversary as a film studio, and they invited dozens of famous actors who had all worked with Paramount over the years to pose for a group photo together - and the roster of actors that they gathered here together for this photo is just astonishing.
Looking at this photo really is observing a who's who of cinema history here - so many absolute Legends are in attendance here: James Stewart. Elizabeth Taylor. Bob Hope. Charlton Heston. Charles Bronson. Gene Hackman. Robin Williams. And on and on.
And sitting in the front row, smiling widely and very clearly enjoying himself, is Harrison Ford. Harrison was invited to the party largely due to the Indiana Jones films being released by Paramount Pictures in the 80's. Which were gigantic films at the time: Raiders of the Lost Ark was the single biggest box office hit of 1981, for example.
Pouring over this photo, there's so many things one could say, but I'll leave it at this as a take-away: if you have ever wished to see a photo of William Shatner and Harrison Ford together, you finally got your wish.
According to the photographer of this event, Terry O'Neill, the one actor from this group that Harrison Ford most wanted to meet and pose with was Elizabeth Taylor. And here is their photo together.
That's a hell of a group photo. ?
