One of the best HS flicks ever. And “Can’t Buy Me Love” is a time capsule of mid/late ‘80s fun - it was a fun time to be an American. I remember seeing it at the movies.
I thought Amanda Peterson was gorgeous in that movie. Truly stunning.
Wow...dead at 43. :(
I remember her more from “Explorers”, playing Ethan Hawke’s crush (which I saw umpteen times in reruns in the ‘80s). She also had guest appearances on other tv shows like “Silver Spoons.” Peterson, like so many other starlets, just sort of dropped off the map. :-(
