Am I Right?


Beginning of movie, maybe 8 mins in; Auditions happening; Jeannie gets up to microphone but just cant get started; "NEXT!"; Blonde girl gets up and we begin the 'Lets Get a Little Sentimental' sequence. That blonde girl is a 17 year old Cyndi Lauper. Am I the only one on the planet to realize this? or am I wrong?

I think so. Also isnt it a young Cathy Bates at about 14min.?!

reply

Yes, and at 19 minutes in is a young Carly Simon singing a song about getting stoned!

I noticed the same thing, but wasn't sure. Turns out my cousin is a friend of Cyndi's publicist and he told my cousin that it wasn't her, however he's been approached with that question a few times.

I believe her name is Bonnie Marcus. I never saw any resemblance to Cyndi Lauper. Just a popmous girl ready to prove that she is better than the mute-job that went before her.

"I-I have trouble with my wind-pipe." "Well, just pass it along!"

Jessica Harper of Suspiria and Phantom Of The Paradise fame is also in it for like 4 seconds.
