!['Three Men and a Baby']()
The biggest box office hit of 1987 was this adorable comedy about three carefree bachelors confronted with an infant left on their doorstep. Based on the 1985 French movie “Trois Hommes et un Couffin” (Three Men and a Cradle), the U.S. version is the highest-grossing remake of a French film in box office history. And did you know it was directed by Leonard Nimoy?! Successful sequel “Three Men and a Little Lady” came along in 1990, and Tom Selleck’s manager has confirmed that “Three Men and a Bride” is currently in the works. While we wait for the film update, let’s check in on the franchise’s stars. (Touchstone Pictures)![Ted Danson Then]()

After small roles on series like "Laverne and Shirley" and "Family," the actor was cast on "Cheers" -- the show that shot him to fame. (Touchstone Pictures)![Ted Danson Now]()
