I loved her so much in Better off Dead.........and ooooo she ****ed me off in The Last American Virgin. It was so the characters I know.....but for some reason the eyebrows...the eyebrows in Virgin......that girl needed some tweasers!!! or should I say that man???? [Razz]

I didn't see one redeeming quality in her character in Last American Virgin not even in the way beginning. She never seemed really nice and came across as a phony; all she was was a hot piece of tail. Sure Gary got his heart broken in the end because of her but he really was the winner in the end because he didn't end up with her.

I remember yelling at the screen at the very end of L.A.V. for Gary to go back and beat the sh*t out of both of them. I can't believe he went out like that. I for sure would have made that skank pay me back for the $$ for her abortion.

Awesome movie though!

She was also in a TV movie as a babysitter from hell (I'm iffy on the title: it might be THE SITTER) and also was one of the princesses in BILL & TED'S EXCELLENT ADVENTURE.
I always thought she was very pretty but could use a tweeze.

I thought the same thing about her in The Last American Virgin. That she wasn't even nice. There wasn't anything even likable about her, he was better off with Rose. The only thing was he was attracted to how she looked, cause they barely even spent any time together, so how well did he even know her?

I had a moped just like hers in that movie, so that was the coolest thing about her was I remembered how much fun we had riding our moped up and down the alley way by my house, when she got a flat tire.

I didn't think it was right she left Gary pay for the abortion either...I mean what the heck was wrong with Rick?? He could afford to go skiing...I know that cost more for the entire weekend, than the abortion would have. And her family didn't look poverty stricken, but there was Gary hocking his stereo and all his pizza savings on her.

You got to admit that ending was good. I remember watching it and thinking "now that wasn't too cool", but probably a dose of high school reality.

I have to agree with you on that one. Usually with HS movies it all gets worked out in the end. VERY unlike reality. This ending was more like reality than most.

She was also in HOW I GOT INTO COLLEGE but I dont really remember that one well. I think that was a flick I had high hopes for that didnt live up to my expectations.
well, for a listing of all Diane's movies and TV appearences you can check her page on www.imdb.com

I'm so mean.........I was trying to find a picture of those catapillers of hers from Virgin and found this instead....she has an offical website where she signs autographed photos......how cute huh?

Offical Diane Franklin website

here's a cute bit of info about the moped from the site Isis and all..... [Smile]

"In the movie "Last American Virgin" I was supposed to ride a moped, but I couldn't even ride a bike (I am deaf in my right ear which affects my balance). I chose not to mention it because I was afraid if I told them It might prevent me from keeping the part. So when the time came to shoot the scenes with the moped, I had to tell them. Boaz Davidson (Writer/Director of LAV) was really nice about it and that is why you see me walking in and out of shots with the moped!"

Wow, that is cool, she still looks pretty much the same, she still has the same eye brows.

She likes Karla Bonoff- that is way cool, I thought I was the only person who ever heard of her. I love Karla Bonoff's music.

She didn't do too many movies though.

Funny about the moped, you just never know that behind the scene stuff about why they did a scene the way they did, that is a neat factoid.
