Tagline: Friends come and go but there's always one you're stuck with for life.

Rich girl Hillary Whitney (Leeds) and child performer Cecilia "CC" Carol Bloom (Bialik) meet on the beach at Atlantic City, New Jersey, and become friends, growing up (Hershey and Midler) to support each other and vie for the love of the same man.

Included on the soundtrack was Bette Midler's "Wind Beneath My Wings", which became an immediate smash hit.

It was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Art Direction (Albert Brenner and Garrett Lewis).

The beach house in the movie is located in Crystal Cove State Park.
