Tom Cruise is a Enigma.. at 17 he breaks into Hollywood with ZERO family help or having a superstar agent.. he was SOO Good looking had such a beautiful smile and was extremely talented. A rare triple threat. I remember seeing his 1st screen test with heather Locklear and he had immeasurable talent.

You can tell that Tom cruise is a born actor ..he is effortlessly talented

Man, she was gorgeous beyond belief. You couldn't help staring at her because your brain could not adequately process what your eyes were looking at.

What a throwback. I was in 9th grade in 1982 and this is exactly how people looked: the feathered hair, tight jeans, polo shirts.
Hard to believe it's been almost 40 years.

So much movies.... so much success... so much talent... never had an Oscar...
Simply don't understand that...
Tom... you're great!! Thanks for so much joy to watch your over the years

Rebecca DeMornay was born to play this role. This should’ve been an Oscar nomination for her. Sexy, confident, smart, funny. Just a perfect screen vixen

[ViscountSinistere]

This is so fascinating and pure history !

[julieowens]

So great to see this! Looks like they liked the outfit De Mornay wore to this audition so much they had her wear it in the movie!

[travisjohnson]

When she said "I need $300" I immediately looked up what $300 in 1982 equals today.

$975 if your curious

[GabrielFerreira-uehs]

That's a moment worth to be within cinema's history

Very interesting!!! This movie is one of my favourites!
Staff found great masters for scoring the movie: Tangerine Dream!

[bobsiyt]

She was really great at the screen test - really good acting. How and why did she not become a huge star? She had the looks and the acting chops

[terryprust]

I graduated in 83 and this was my first coming of age movie every young guy or girl has.

[c.m.]

I saw this movie and Rebecca was also great in "The Hand that Rocks the Cradle" and "Guilty as Sin" with Don Johnson..excellent movies!! 🤠

[robertwilson]

That scene....where the goddess arrives to educate Joel of the facts of life with tangerine dream playing....is iconic.

[careducation]

Brilliant film. I am going to visit the filming locations soon.

[avhvsmatej]

this clip is gold, thank you for uploading this!

At 7:28 when she says "you wont let me stay?" Are they all laughing from the joy that they just realized how much potential they have here? With her delivery of that line and in general ? Goosebumps etc

[Dibu-Jitos]

Rebecca was a true beauty and very talented. I don't understand why her star gradually faded.

[ZandefDeksit]

That very last line she delivers completely sells it...perfect
