She is 62, but I still think of her has the perpetual ingenue. She was the beautiful, innocent love interest in a host of 1980’s genre pics. In this film, the devil cajoled her in the Garden of Eden. Bill and Ted saved her from the Royal Ugly Dudes. Our hero tried hard to seduce her in Better Off Dead. Our hero lost, then won, then sadly lost her again in The Last American Virgin.
After some time off to enjoy life, she wrote a memoir entitled “Diane Franklin: The Excellent Adventures of the Last American, French Exchange Babe of the 80s,” and has now apparently resumed full-time acting.

Feelin’ old – Diane Franklin’s daughter is a seasoned show-biz pro.
I have never heard of that movie. It appears to have a lot of nudity for a single film. Not that I would complain.
She did other nude scenes, but this one is the only full, total, everything goes appearance. And she looks angelic.
It was very rare and obscure. Couldn’t find it on video for decades.
Yep, she raised two kids (both very talented, and her daughter is as gorgeous as she is) then jumped right back in. She even appeared as the mom in an Amityville flick, when she played the daughter back in the original sequel.
She’s still gorgeous, and is one of the kindest and best people in the industry.
Diane Franklin interview
Total 80s dream girl, altho if I’d seen this in high school, her only full frontal & butt I’d probably have exploded on contact – good interview too in the doc Skin on the history of movie nudity, she seems a good sport
