"The Witches of Eastwick" was a massive hit back in the late 80s. With its all-star cast, it's not hard to see why the film was a huge success.

The 1987 American dark fantasy-comedy "The Witches of Eastwick" was directed by George Miller. The film was based on John Updike's book "The Witches of Eastwick" which was published in 1984.

It starred Jack Nicholson, Cher, Michelle Pfeiffer and Susan Sarandon amongst others. Here is a look at where the cast is now.
