The Girl Most Likely To (1973) Part 1

Ugly duckling Miriam Knight (Stockard Channing) is constantly teased about her appearance. After a horrible car accident, she awakens in hospital to discover herself transformed into a beautiful woman. With a new lease on life, Miriam vows to take revenge on her past tormentors, one by one.
Hot on her trail is Detective Ralph Varone (Ed Asner), determined to catch her red-handed.
Written by Joan Rivers, this cult classic black comedy is an amusing, yet quite accurate portrayal of the superficiality of beauty standards in Western society. This film was one of Stockard Channing's first appearances on screen and would become part of her long and versatile career.

Genius

[@hunycaulk]

Thank you for posting this wonderful movie. What a blessing. I was in Jr. High when this movie came out. Loved it. The 70's in my opinion was the Golden Age of Television.

[@susanborkenhagen58]

I think this was a Movie of the Week. My sister and I loved this film and remember all of it 40 years later it was so clever. Ed Asner just died and few remember this one.

[@bill61570]

one of my FAVORITE MOVIES EVER!!!!

[@gloriamontgomery6900]

It’s so good! Really glad to get a chance to see it again

[@zimjun7]

I hear ya! Even thought my ugly duckling days faded 46 years ago. Til this day, I love revenge movies. You just KNOW that it's goin' to come out good.

[@Sailor_Universe]

College is not like this. If you weren't popular in high school, you have a better chance of making friends in college who appreciate you for your mind, not your social status. With Mariam's wit and intelligence I would've been her friend. Great movie.

[@quad1254qs]

That just made my day. :) thank y'all. Still wanna be a different me.

[@Airsoftcleaner]

TheWriter4christ This was sort of Columbine and VA Tech long before Columbine and VA Tech. To me films like this and Carrie is giving us a lesson and a message but for some strange reason we never pay attention to the message that is conveyed

[@vsmokethon]

i saw this movie in 80 something on a school late night , i was about 7 or 8 and i never forgot this crazy movie.. its a classic

[@acla9000]

I watched this movie at 13, it's both scary and fun! And a warning to any mean and cruel person who enjoys humiliating others. Thanks much for posting!!

[@susanborkenhagen58]

My sister and I remember this from our youth...movies of the week were great!

[@bcmcc1340]

This was one of my favorite movies when it first aired. There are still people in my life who I'd like to exact revenge on.

[@Rhiaanon]

I have not seen this since the 70’s! Siockard was amazing in this! I miss those made for television movie’s from 1970’s!

[@MessiahMews]

I've always thought of this movie, and couldn't remember the name of it, let alone the actress. That's how young I was. I did do a search for 70's movie of extreme makeover, to see what would come up and I recognized the images shown in the search. Finally got the name of the movie, and now I'm here watching and enjoying it again

[@TIZNYC]

I love this movie. I remember it from when I was a kid. Thanks for posting.

[@margiepargie1982]

Love this movie. She was always beautiful but no one ever noticed. So happy when she became beautiful.

[@shamsha7268]

This is my childhood right here! I remember on Channel 50 in Chicago they would show this movie in a bundle with two other classic movies. A stranger in our house with Linda Blair and Trilogy of terror with Karen Black. They called it the Twisted Sisters weekend movies or something like that. And yes they played were not gonna take by Twisted Sister on the commercial lol. #goodtimes :)

[@MissRegina79]

Yes I remember watching this and Trilogy of Terror on channel 50 in Chicago... one of my favorite movies!!!

[@reneebraxton1032]

Thanks Joan Rivers! Rest in peace. ❤

[@MercuryAquarius]

OH THANK YOU! I remember watching this movie with my mother when I was 9 or 10 years old. CLASSIC! Never forgot the scene where Stockard Channing takes that long walk in the hospital after her surgeries. :))))

[@AstralPixie]

"As I get older, I won't have to worry about my looks fading" "I don't remember you.." "No one ever does" "While I was engaged to him... his wife became pregnant again" "That's Lincoln, the other one is Herman" :D She doesn't recognize Abe. Mr. Howell is teaching a course. I've heard so much about this movie... I'm excited to see it.

[@randallutendahl4562]

This is the film that got me interested in film making when I was growing up. I love it .

[@micany8]

Loved this movie. Saw it years ago and have been looking for it. Thank you!!!

[@jackmac2226]

Thank you Sarah Silverman podcast for bringing me here. Long live the legend that was Joan Rivers 💛

[@Tonia682]

I saw this around 1981 as a syndicated movie. Interesting to see it again.

[@kimmee88]

ty for posting.....i remember this movie from when i was young, but could never find it :)

[@morganne59]

Thank you . I saw this tv movie in french TV when I was a child in 1977. I didn't thought I would see it again !

[@chrisbacos]

A true American black comedy.

[@chrisbacos]

Black comedy is term meaning the plot line involves death.

[@chrisbacos]

thomas jameson jr Too funny. LMAO. Good way to start my day. I will have to see the movie again as I never noticed the black guy. Maybe an updated version with a woman of color is due. Joan Rivers would have liked it.

[@zimjun7]

Dark then…..

[@MsLansones]

One of my favorite movies. :)

[@YllohLlah]

Yay!!! Thanks for posting this movie - I tried to find this fir purchase but couldnt find it!! Stockard Channing is GREAT!!

[@maintrainstation]

Happy 50th anniversary to the fans of "The Girl Most Likely To" on the date of its original airing, November 6, 1973!

[@xnewtime]

[@valeriaplant4566]

Assisti esse filme quando era criança, nunca esqueci. Sensacional. Deveria ter o filme completo. Estava procurando desesperadamente. Maravilhosa Stockard Channing. 🤗❤️🇧🇷

[@bxmeow11]

"Miriam don't worry, your turn will come" OMG MY MOM SAYS THIS TO ME TOO hahahah

[@MrRJMGREEN]

The first time I saw this movie it was in the 70's on the 3:30 movie in Los Angeles. I've loved it ever since.

[@Robkizzy]

I have never seen this. Right from the start I thought that It had a very funny script and kept me watching till the end. A very enjoyable movie.

[@antonioestay6376]

Recuerdo haber visto esta película en mi adolescencia y lo mucho que me impresionó. La repitieron muchas veces en la tv, y siempre volvía a verla. Era un filme tan irreverente, tan osado. Me marcó

[@monikag1323]

I saw this movie on tv with my best friend and her brother one afternoon and loved it. This would never fly today, especially given the stink over netflix's Insatiable.

[@d4seasons]

i could relate to your comment. those creeps really treated her bad. but there was no need to kill them. i , myself got teased & picked on all my life. i pray to god to get those creeps. ****

[@paulj0557tonehead]

Wow! Joan Rivers wrote this.

[@vsmokethon]

back then tv was nice to watch

[@jackiejns983]

Great Joan Rivers writing!

[@reneebraxton1032]

"Afraid of a little competition I guess. " Good save.

[@hil6ry]

[@meredithfisher328]

I have wanted to see this movies since it came out on TV. I couldn’t remember the name. It Was great!

[@bill61570]

I adore this movie!!!!

[@ronaldhiggins2832]

A lesson on how we should treat people and how mean and superficial we can be.

[@PrincessSybilla77]

Oh my God! I love you for this

[@balletzoom]

Muy buen telefilm emitido por TVE aqui en España a mediados de los 70 y 80 nunca mas he vuelto a verla, siempre tengo un buen recuerdo de esta pelicula, una pena que este en ingles, como me gustaria volver a verla pero en español.

[@whatthef911]

She must not have done well in college since she was back in high school five years later.

[@coccinelle80]

2:30 OMG! People had to wait in line to register for classes at college? Wow, we are such a spoiled generation today, we can do almost everything online!

[@LightLeadingMe]

Oh my gosh, she's adorable.

[@Capcoor]

THANK you!

[@Marashor]

I seen someone mention this movie on another site. I can't wait to see the full movie. I REALLY appreciate you for uploading this! ♥♥♥ M ♥♥♥♥

[@reneebraxton1032]

I love this movie!!!!!❤

[@joycesagulla9729]

Recommended for Pete Nitti!

[@acla9000]

Oh, and not forgetting to revenge on the bullies, of course.

[@TheTwillerZone]

yeah, i saw this on The Movie Loft on WSBK as a kid. always remembered the murders. scared the hell out of me.

[@BlackandBlueWeekly]

love this.

[@sierria64]

I REMEMBER THIS MOVIE AS KID.. IT MAKES YOU THINK

[@hjb103055]

@CharlestonChica This was 1973.

[@19EHF]

Its ironic because stockard channing is a beautiful woman. Is this movie pre or post Grease? It looks pre because she looks younger but Hollywood is known for casting 20 something year olds for the roles of high school students.

[@chrisbacos]

This movie was made in 1973 so it was before Grease which was made in 1978.

[@MrBen51309]

Way better than Insatiable

[@yanirazuniga5882]

QUIEN TIENE ESTA PELICULA EN ESPAÑOL , YO LA VI CUANDO ERA PEQUEÑA .SON BONITOS RECUERDOS.

[@EvansSt83]

This movie kind of reminds me of Heathers.

[@oldrocker74]

HAPPY 40TH ANNIVERSARY!!!!

[@bbrta]

My fav movie..

[@sprtichck]

coccinelle80 no but we have set registration periods, there is no early registration unless you play sports There's definitely late registration if you wait too long to register but it's basically all up to luck otherwise.

[@coccinelle80]

I know, thanks. I attended university in the 2000s, not the 60s.

[@sprtichck]

What do you mean? I'm in college now... Did I misread this?

[@coccinelle80]

Perhaps. I am studying, pulling an all-nighter, plus I may or may not be high on crack lol. That's what we Canadians do. Just ask Rob Ford.

[@sprtichck]

ha! everyone's got studying aids

[@678BUMPERLOVER]

yeah they were

[@alainruans9743]

En français ? il y a une version en français ? c'est mon film préféré de mon enfance

[@jerico641]

@MrRJMGREEN Nope; I got it now; she was in an episode of MASH, of all things, playing a nurse. That's where I remember her from. Boy, that was driving me nuts; but thanks for your help!

[@hjb103055]

@jerico641 Her name is Susanne Zenor and she was in lots of tv shows in the 70's. She also played Margo Horton on Days of our Lives.

[@fairiegirlga]

I have known people like this, if your life is that bad because of your weight, bad skin, frizzy hair, do something about it, go on a diet, work out, go to a Dermatologist, take charge of your life !!

[@MrRJMGREEN]

@jerico641 She was in The Baby, and she was one of the original actresses to portray Chrissy Snow.

[@mpacino1224]

People are so horrible.

[@jerico641]

Where have I seen the blonde roommate? I know I've seen her in other movies or TV, but I can't place her...

[@18wolfspirit]

Has anyone every been ostracized like this at a college, or is this just heavily exaggerated form of entertainment?

[@TomBoy836]

Surely as the "stonies" (called the cutters in the movie "Breaking Away") were, and probably still are today, by some other name still ...

[@sprtichck]

except you hardly ever get all the classes you want anyway

[@enriqueramirez4054]

Again the phone....by the way I´m not mexic...

[@alexfernandohuenten1374]

mcdevit good actres.

[@Theshark15z]

Hey Rizzo, where is Kenickie??? oops sorry that's GREASE. :P

[@CharlestonChica]

In Hollywood, attractive people are given ugly clothes and hairdos, like in this movie lol

[@launwatch]

@mlaura40s Ofcourse they did. Aside from the fact that all bullies don't like themselves either coz they know they're scum, they also NEVER tell you about the amount of nasty crap they have in their lives. Like all victims YOU were the nice person. Know that! : )

[@DaveWollenberg]

Did Stockard look like this, in real life?

[@IrishEyes1989]

@DaveWollenberg Luckily, no! lol. She was, as you find out later in this film, quite attractive in real life :)

[@enriqueramirez4054]

Excuse me ?. You mean me the gue..on ?.

[@jerico641]

@hjb103055 Thanks; I'll have to Google her; because it wasn't DOUL I remember her from, it was something else, and it's driving me crazy LOL.

[@peasblossom1973]

I like this movie, although Stockard Channing isn't the best choice to turn "beautiful"; we used to call her "Stockyard" Channing when she first hit the screen.
