April 29, 1983 –
Martha Coolidge’s Rom-Com about a girl from the valley, Valley Girl, starring Nicolas Cage, Deborah Foreman, Michelle Meyrink, Elizabeth Daily, Cameron Dye and Michael Bowen opened in the US on this date.
The producers of this film approached Frank Zappa about making a film based on his hit single Valley Girl (released May 1982), but he refused, leading the producers to make the film without his involvement. Zappa later sued them but lost the case.
