“E.T.” Is 40 Years Old Now, Here’s The Cast Then

I can’t believe I am saying this, but E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial is officially 40 years old! Released on June 11, 1982, this iconic film went on to break massive box office records and became the highest-grossing film of all time (until Spielberg beat his own record with Jurassic Park in 1993).
