Short description
Refined actress Lauren Ames finally has a chance to study with the great theatre professor Stanislav Korzenowski. Sandy Brozinsky, a brash, loud actress, decides through happenstance to also study with Korzenowski. The two women end up dating the same man (who turns out to be a double agent) and follow him across the country to force him to choose between them.
What's left behind the scenes
- Bette Midler was four months pregnant when filming began.
- Shelly Long and Bette Midler were both promised top billing on the promotional posters, and neither was willing to concede. Therefore, a compromise was reached: west of the Mississippi, Long's name appeared first on the posters, and east of the Mississippi, Midler's name did.
- The moment where Bette Midler's character falls in front of the approaching truck was not in the script. The actress came up with the fall herself, feeling it would be effective. Shelly Long and the film crew were genuinely frightened and rushed to help Midler. This scene made it into the film.
