| Lonely Lady USA (1983) Dir. : Peter Sasdy Based on the novel Lonely Lady by Harold Robbins |
| Cast Pia Zadora....................Jerilee Randall Lloyd Bochner..............Walter Thornton Bibi Besch....................Veronica Randall Joseph Cali...................Vincent Dacosta Anthony Holland............Guy Jackson Ray Liotta.....................Joe Heron |
| Synopsis A young screenwriter dreams of a career in Hollywood, but she soon learns that she has to do more than just write to get somewhere. |
| Soundtrack This ‘awarded’ soundtrack contains only one song by Pia Zadora : ‘The Clapping Song’, her biggest hit in the US so far. Click on the soundtrack cover for more information. |
| Personal Comments I like Pia Zadora very much, but this is really a very bad film. In all fairness, she’s no great actress, but she’s not the only one to blame for this fiasco : from the director to the make-up artist’s assistant, they’ve all made an indispensable contribution to this bad-movie-milestone. I've read the book and it contains the usual Harold Robbins' ingredients : sex, drugs, sex, alcohol, sex, glamour and sex. When all this is equally spread over more than 300 pages, you can cope with it. When all this sleaze is crammed into 90 minutes, it gets a lot tougher. But sleaze can be fun. Unfortunately, Lonely Lady isn't. |
| Awards No more Golden Globes this time, but ‘Lonely Lady’ left the competition far behind on the 1984 Golden Raspberry Awards : absolute record of 11 nominations and 6 wins! Only ‘Showgirls’(1996) did better with 7 wins (and a nomination for Worst Remake of the Lonely Lady!!!) |
| Golden Raspberry (Razzie’s) 1984 Awards won Worst Actress (Pia Zadora) Worst Director Worst Musical score Worst Original Song ( Jeff Harrington – “The Way you Do It”) Worst Picture Worst Screenplay Other nominations Worst Actor (Lloyd Bochner) Worst Original Song (for “Lonely Lady”) Worst Supporrting Actor (Joseph Cali, Anthony Holland) Worst Supporting Actress (Bibi Besch) |
