This Day in History: ‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun’ turns 30

On this day in history: On Apr. 12, 1985, the film Girls Just Want to Have Fun was released in theaters nationwide.

This film paved the way for then unknown actors Sarah Jessica Parker, Helen Hunt, Jonathan Silverman and Shannen Doherty. Lee Montgomery, who played ‘Jeff Malene’ in GJWTHF and who began his acting career as a child in the early 1970’s, left show business about three years after GJWTHF was released.

Almost 50 ‘Shades of Gray’

Sept. 12, 2016 will mark the 50th anniversary of when The Monkees television show premiered on NBC.

I can’t help but wonder if the song “Shades of Gray”–which was written in 1965 by songwriters (and real-life spouses) Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil and was recorded in 1967 by the band The Monkees for their second album Headquarters–played an inspiration to the new film Fifty Shades of Grey. I really think this song should have been added to the film’s soundtrack. 😉

Fifty Shades of Grey is now playing in theaters nationwide.
