The Year Was 1990–Films premiering included “Goodfellows” and “Pretty Woman”…among the popular songs were “Must Have Been Love” by Roxette, “Nothing Compares To You” by Sinead O’Connor, Wilson Phillips’ “Home On” and “How Am I Supposed To Live Without You” by Michael Bolton…new television shows included “Beverly Hills 90210,” “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air” and “Northern Exposure”…and in the news, Germany was unified, Panamanian strongman Manuel Noreiga surrendered to U.S. authorities, and Nelson Mandela was freed following nearly three decades in captivity in South Africa.
