The 80s - Outrageous Fortune (1987) - Are they going to fall for all of that?

**Barrybgb** · 02-26-2018, 10:12 AM

1987 comedy starring Bette Midler and Shelley Long. A bombastic wannabe actress (Bette Midler) and a persnickety Hollywood hopeful land in the same acting class. They can't stand each other but soon learn they share the same boyfriend. When he goes missing, they both go looking for him and end up in his surprisingly dangerous life.

Trailer (The original trailer can't be found, so here is a TV spot -)

Peter Coyote ("E.T."), Robert Prosky ("The Great Outdoors", "Christine", "Gremlins 2", "Mrs. Doubtfire"), Anthony Stewart Head ("Buffy The Vampire Slayer") and comedian George Carlin co-star.

It's a hoot. Shelley is kind of in "Diane" mode here and Bette is at her brashiest, mouthiest best.

Sandy: "Well, what the hell?"

Lauren: "Well, that's not....his?"

Sandy: "No way. Look at that!"

Lauren: "It's too small."

Lauren: "It's a ******* pencil."
