Whitney Houston was one of the biggest pop stars of the 1980s and early 1990s, and her work in “The Bodyguard” and “Waiting to Exhale” brought her acclaim on the big screen. Houston is seen here in February 1982 when she was a senior in high school. This was her first session with a professional photographer.
