Deborah Foreman

Forrest, who'd been Oscar-nominated for Best Supporting Actor in The Rose, agreed to play Julie's father, working for scale like everyone else in the cast on what Atlantic considered a teen sex comedy.

Deborah Foreman, a 20-year-old actor who'd grown up in the Dallas suburb of Richardson, Texas, won the role of Julie.

Elizabeth Daly, who'd appeared in The Escape Artist, and Michelle Myrink, who had a part in another Coppola production, The Outsiders, were cast as Julie's friends, Lauren and Susie, respectively, along with Heidi Holliker, the only member of the cast who'd grown up in the Valley, as her best friend, Stacy.

Judd Nelson, who had no film or television credits, met with Coolidge and casting director Annette Benson to discuss playing Randy.

He did have something to do with creating that fad, but it wasn't really the song which inspired us.

The song did not create the persona.

Atlantic cut a corner with the poster, which depicts Nicolas Cage standing next to a woman who is clearly not Deborah Foreman.

Coleman's explanation is that Atlantic had to replace Foreman when she declined to appear on the poster.

But, uh, let's get back to, uh, Waxwork.

Does that Waxwork start, uh, it starred Zach Gilli- Gilligan, who was in, uh, Gremlins, and, uh, Deborah Foreman.

She was in Valley Girl, April Fools, uh, Real Genius with Val Kilmer.

She was in Valley Girl with Nic Cage, so she's had, like, you know, she's b- she played that innocent girl, and she always got the, to act with the, uh, some great leading men, you know, Val Kilmer and Nic, and Nic Cage.

is your idea of a joke? That's why you invited me here, isn't it? Isn't it? How did you find out we're one of those preppy friends?

Today we're discussing April Fool's Day, starring Deborah Foreman, Griffin O'Neill, Clayton Rono, Jay Baker, Pat Barlow, Lloyd Berry, Deborah Goodrich, Tom Heaton, Leah Pinsett, Mike Nomad, Rob Farris, Amy Steele, and Thomas F. Wilson, directed by Fred Walton.

Welcome back to the Rewatch Podcast.

I'm Corey, and your fly is open, and your hostess Twinkie is hanging out.

I think, I guess the script really lets them all down or like lack thereof or like lack of characterization or maybe the fact that they all just look the fucking same.

I couldn't tell who was who they definitely have a good chemistry with one another that's for sure

yeah I think like obviously the one that stands out is Deborah Foreman's Muffy and she is a blonde in real life so they made her a brunette for this movie just to differentiate her I guess

well it helps because the only one I could like point out would be Muffy

Yep.

Uh, also, uh, Chris Knight trying to hit on Susan who played by Deborah Foreman, the beautiful woman he finds in the professor and Hathaway house about the, uh, her asking about the six inch spike and what he might be able to do with it.

Um, Mitch and Mitch and Jordan kissing, uh, the successful laser to test that when it was eventually stolen in the revenge prank two with Kent with the antenna in his teeth, uh, this is jesus kent you've been very naughty boy and of course the final popcorn prank on the professor's house i want to get your guys's take on some of your favorite scenes there lacy let's start with you

Um, you know, I, I, I will say that the open that we had a little while ago where he was, um, talking about the dream is one of my favorites.

Gotcha, gotcha.

Well, just like Parzival and Ready Player One, I got a little crush on Jordan, that hyperkinetic thing she's got going on.

But I obviously want to give a shout-out, honorable mention to Susan, played by Deborah Foreman.

Mm-hmm.

A fantastic one.

Now, Valley Girl stars Deborah Foreman as Julie, who is the absolute zenith of the 1980s San Fernando Valley aesthetic.

She really is.

She's totally immersed in the mall culture, the superficiality, the pastel polo shirts.

And that proximity breeds the conflict.

But it also breeds the forbidden romance.

Nicolas Cage and Deborah Foreman capture that inherently rebellious nature of young love, where just holding someone's hand in public is a radical act of defiance against the governing authority of the clique.

Right.
