Interview With Actress Diane Franklin - Better Off Dead - Last American Virgin - Bill & Teds

[@NemeanLion-]

Holy smokes, an interview with Diane Franklin! That’s so cool you got her. I would’ve been a nervous wreck. She’s so lovely and down to earth.

[@Emlane09]

She’s a narcissist, if you actually listen to her. Don’t make superficial comments

[@NemeanLion-]

@@Emlane09 Maybe someone who doesn’t have a single nice thing to say shouldn’t be lecturing others on what to or not to say. Next time look in the mirror before you mouth off.

[@Emlane09]

@@NemeanLion- again with the superficiality. I get you’re star struck but celebs aren’t gods

[@NemeanLion-]

@@Emlane09 And your character is far from praiseworthy.

[@maxjones5705]

@NemeanLion- you sound like you’re a simp 😂

[@RetroDaze]

The gal is fun and friendly wherever I see and hear her pop up. A great ambassador for ‘80s entertainment!

[@The_Drifter79]

that's crazy that she is 60!.....and still looks like this, wow!

[@lscottex]

I really enjoyed this, thank you! She's such a great actress and this was a great and fun interview. "Better Off Dead" is an all time favorite of mine, and Monique was such a great character.

[@rolandsalas3206]

She did not hit as big as The last American Virgin did

[@miss80smoviesandmusic]

Omg this is awesome!!! Virgin and Better Off Dead are 2 of my favorite 80's films!!!

[@montydagreat5714]

WOW!! Well deserved Kurt and such a great interview…..Molly Ringwald, Mia Sara and Lea Thompson are next!

[@80sLife]

Thank you so much! Wow.. I sure hope so

[@AGhostintheHouse]

I agree with Monty, also Amanda Wyss, E.G. Daily, Pheobe Cates, Mary Stuart Masterson and many other!

[@ryano913]

Way to go. And she still looks great.

[@Brandon-ex8ui]

I can’t believe you interviewed her, she was from Last American Virgin an 80s classic! You’re a legend Kurt

[@timegan1884]

I had a huge crush on Diane Franklin in The Last American Virgin. I was 17 in 1982. Still one of my fave 80s movies. Realistic and hard-hitting ending that i loved but that my mates all hated.

[@stevewright2972]

I met her at a Horror Movie Convention a few years back and She was Hands Down the most Pleasant Outgoing person I ever met. I also told her my story about taking a public transit bus twice a week 14 miles from my house to see Her in "The Last American Virgin" at this small two screen theater. Wonderful Lady ! ❤

[@koreancardboard]

Congratulations, Kurt! Amazing to have Diane on and hopefully do a video with her! She is such a talented, sweet woman and like so many others I also enjoyed her appearances in movies. It's always great hearing actors share their experiences about filming locations we wonder about.

[@justinb3682]

Wow! This was so much fun to watch! Diane is delightful! Really looking forward to your collaboration. Really fun, and great job as usual Kurt!

[@jimo8119]

Kurt, this is great ! You get Diane Franklin back at these locations, you will break the internet. Also, she certainly is still super pretty. What class, so friendly, we should see more of her in movies and TV.

[@80sLife]

Yeah, I'm real excited to get her to those locations. It should be a blast. Thank you

[@wassiswallylokhankin191]

That final look she gave Gary while leaning her head on Rick's shoulder... it was so earthly, so real-life, so woman-like... "Sorry Gary, I do appreciate everything you've done for me but I just can't help it..." It does show a big actress.

[@davidtaylor6663]

great content again Kurt Crucial! Well done

[@albertbekassy2709]

I'm looking forward to the locations video!

[@moot6794]

Very cool, Kurt. Thanks, Diane!

[@luchagain3424]

She hasn’t aged a day. Beautiful

[@WitheringZealot]

no buddy she aged.

[@Stevelives13]

This is amazing, hope you get to do more of these.

[@Stevelives13]

Good job as an interviewer Kurt.

[@v2vroth]

Great interview thanks for sharing, 80’s life!!!

[@MB-ig6gl]

Funny that she loved Better Of Dead while John Cusack hated it for the longest time. That movie made me a fan of both actors. And is still just as fun today.

[@AngelOfDeath420]

I was happy she went there!

[@talcoge67]

Diane seems a great person and i love her attitude. Great interview Kurt!

[@randymoyan7871]

This is awesome Kurt! I'm so glad you had this opportunity to interview a Movie star like Diane. It couldn't happen to a better guy. She was a wonderful interview and so very engaging. Thank you.

[@Rachelschleiger1450]

This is priceless I met her once when I was a projectionist for the aero theater in Santa Monica about 5 years ago running Bill and Ted she was there for the q&a with Alex winter and the other princess keauna was unfortunately sick and couldn't attend ( he was devastated over not being able to come) she was wonderful to talk to. You have literally done another impossible and made me smile just now. Thank you very much amigo I really appreciate you both talking on this awesome video "Thank you very very very much sir." Yes another future video with her as well. Hell to the yea.

[@whatsleftbehind6539]

As soon as my I saw in my notifications that you were interviewing Diane Franklin I streamed it right away. I had a crush on Monique in Better Off Dead (Elizabeth Daily in the school dance scene was pretty crushable too)Awesome job Kurt!

[@philmakris8507]

She has really aged well. Awesome interview Kurt.

[@johnniebravo5985]

You're the man Kurt! Awesome interview! Looking forward to seeing filming location videos with Diane!

[@jeffbandy7065]

I absolutely love Better off Dead and am so happy it continues to live on as a cult classic. My teenage kids and I just watched it this past weekend and it was easy to love Diane's character all over again. The entire film feels so under rated and under valued. They checked every box in that movie, acting, humor, teen depression in a light manner, a come back story with landing the RIGHT girl in the movie! I have and will always be fond of this movie and can't thank everyone involved with it enough!

[@michelerogers6340]

Yay!!! 😁 So happy you did this!! Diane is the BEST!!

[@bobbog83]

👏 Nice interview brother!

[@quarterbackin3262]

80’s royalty right here!

[@LetsGoThere]

I love hearing these 80s stories

[@ernestgamez9794]

She is still a beautiful and awesome actress. I love all of her movies.

[@MrGruffteddybear]

Better Off Dead is in my top 5 80's movies. I still watch it today and try to get others who have never seen it to watch it.

[@veerchasm1]

I’m still mad at her for burning that dude in “Last American Virgin” 😡

[@m.o.n.g.o]

Some here. It's hard for me to think of her any other way

[@Kim_na999]

[@jerrygastelum8012]

38 years later I still love this movie 2 DOLLARS !!!! IS MY FAVORITE

[@wesstarmedia]

Whatever her lifestyle is, she should make it public. She still looks amazing and has the enthusiasm and energy of somebody a fraction of her age. A true icon.

[@mikejohnsonCHG]

Crucial Content!

[@anomalistic3046]

Awesome Kurt!

[@holydiver73]

She was absolutely spot on doing accents and one of my favourite actresses from the 80’s and she’s STILL smoking hot. Truly, Diane has aged like a fine wine, whilst other actresses who were famous around the same time has aged like milk. It was lovely to see her and see that she’s doing well.

[@mattz6470]

what a down to earth person.

[@cjcadventures]

Diane is such a lovely person and a great actress really enjoyed watching your interview with her I think it would be great to go on a tour around the filming locations with her well done again 👍

[@ski567]

BEST - VIDEO - EVER !

[@njaneardude]

So down to earth. Great interview.

[@timegan1884]

Really good interview. Diane is a great chatter. 👍

[@zombiemosher1139]

Came straight here after the Bill & Ted locations vid. Great interview & she is a very talented actress. Love her in Amityville 2 & TerrorVision.

[@ultragroove1]

What a great interview. She is just wonderful and the two of you doing a locations video seems like it’d be a whole lot of fun. Hope that happens. Love the channel too!

[@chaotikcavalier515]

Love this lady. My favorite line in her favorite movie was when John Cusack jumped into the garbage truck and the Bruthas said "Why would they throw away a perfectly good white boy?" Probably couldn't get away with that today but I don't care. Diane was definitely America's sweetheart back then :)

[@martyjones7225]

I love Diane in all of her '80s movies. I was in high school when Virgin came out. In the movie listings in the newspaper the name wasn't published. Instead, it said "Call movie theater for title".

[@dBREZ]

One of the many Girls we fell in love with while watching 80's movies'

[@JohnQPublic345]

Killer Kast Kurt!! hope you can interview more 80s celebs.

[@xtraflo]

She still has that great smile! Also exciting to hear her love for films!!!

[@MFBURNS7909]

Super cool! 👊 👍

[@80sLife]

Thank you!

[@mmcfreds]

SHE’S NOT FRENCH!!?? My childhood is ruined.

[@Kingcollector19]

Such a nice person!! Great interview and look forward to seeing the interviews on location.

[@craigerickson6308]

Looking forward to the location videos with her, her reactions will be cool. Enjoy her humbleness as well. It would be cool to have other actors go to filming locations and do videos with you. Along the lines of the hiking with Kevin videos.

[@edkowalczyk2375]

One major thing I noticed You let HER do most of the talking, so many interviews the host interrupts and doesn't let the person being interviewed speak. We know you are awesome Kurt or we wouldn't be here on this channel, but for this video we wanted to see and listen to her, you did just that , you did a wonderful job with your questions and letting her speak. as always AWESOME!!!!!!! I predict you will do many more interviews with other actors, actresses from the 80's because of your passion, thoughtfulness, kindness and sharing your love for the 80's with all.

[@chonwayne909]

Awesome Interview

[@jameskett5241]

OK, now that I watched the entire thing... love her! Energy, genuinely happy, AMERICAN!

[@meotv2336]

Give this man a net flix deal !!!!!

[@AngelOfDeath420]

I had such a crush on her omg! I was 10 years old when American Virgin came out. Time flies by so fast don't blink!

[@RichardMctere]

she broke my heart in the last American virgin in the scene where she broke her boyfriends heart and went back to that dude that treated her like crap.The reason this hit me hard is because I experienced a similar situation in school in the 80's

[@biscuit4christ]

Diane Franklin is really down to earth! It would be great to go back to the "Last American Virgin" filming locations with her!! 👍

[@TheKryptonian-c5t]

Watching this….i almost feel like I’ve rediscovered an old flame. I had such a crush on her in the 80’s.

[@johnanderson6946]

still looking gorgeous!

[@dcabral00]

The Last American Virgin is a movie that all pre-teenage raging hormones boys should watch!

[@uttermanbo]

I was born in '86. I never heard of this movie "American Virgin". I did watch Bill and Ted and thought she was British because of that movie.

[@espritmike]

Very very cool. I can’t believe how many people had their first roll in Endless love. Look it up

[@joshsteinhouser4947]

That’s awesome you got to talk with her. She’s still so hot!

[@2112acj]

WOW ! she looks great. I have the DVD "Second Time Lucky". She was Fantastic in it.

[@frankiehernandez2066]

Grate interview 👍

[@jaybarney1]

Love the channel. Thank you the hard rock

[@IdealX-fr4eg]

Fell in love with her when I was 10 from better off dead...

[@dennydeckerful]

Nice job all around.

[@timreeves8937]

The thing that made last american virgin such a gut punch ending was she played Karen as the "nice girl" who at first blush was being used by the stereotypical jerk guy that needed "saved" by nice guy Gary, and in the end her character was like nope! I like the bad boy even though he treated me like dirt..haha. Very few movies have ever ended on a downer like this one. She is right it did teach some guys about unrequited love and you cannot make a girl like you, no matter what you do. The film was way ahead of its time in a way. Back then, all movies made it so the nice guy carrying a torch for a girl was sweet and romantic and the nice guy won. This film turned that concept completely on its head. But the sound track was just amazing too! You can watch it just for all the early 80's hits.

[@joelnert]

Lived it. Any updates on seeing the film locations with her?

[@mikemc5221]

Amityville Murders is not a sequel to Amityville 2 The Possesion. Murders is a more accurate but still fictional version of the Defeo family killings.

[@tammyboykin5285]

Omg must look for that one

[@mark33328]

He bought oranges for orange juice the next day. He bought the tree because it’s Xmas break. He didn’t have time to drop it at grandmas so he brought it into the hospital.

[@jimbo8888]

Would be great to see Diane go back to the Last American Virgin locations. Please do it.

[@backforblood3421]

TerrorVision became one of my favorite movies when I watched it for the first time last year.

That would be amazing on that go back to film locations with Diane on last American Virgin

Awesome on at least 3 levels. 1. Awesome you would find her, and ask her to do an interview. 2. Awesome she would do it! Go on "some guy's" KZbin channel. 3. Awesome, no plastic surgery, still hot! lol

[@chrism9976]

I was just thinking about Better Off Dead. Totally had a crush on Monique Junot as a young man. Still looking great!

[@bluebonnet1014]

Has there been any talk recently on getting together with her again for going to the Virgin locations? Love the channel. 👍

[@paulgoblet7393]

This was my, “it “girl. Last American Virgin & better off dead. I was madly in love with this woman when I was a teenager.

[@Ifoughtpiranhas]

I had a huge crush on this gal from `85-`87 thanks to her Monique character in `Better Off Dead.`

[@philmakris8507]

During the depression Oranges were a common Christmas present too.
