Better Off Dead is one of the most beloved films of the ’80s, and two of its stars are back together! The iconic 1985 film, which starred John Cusack as a high school teen who gets dumped by his girlfriend and will go to any length to get her back, is a classic that’s still rewatched by many. Actress Diane Franklin played Monique Junot in the movie, and she still frequently hits the convention circuit. However, the duo rarely reunites. That’s why it’s such a delight to see Franklin and Cusack, who went on to tremendous acclaim with films like Say Anything, Con Air, and High Fidelity, back together at The Sands, celebrating the film’s 40th anniversary. 🎬SIGN UP for Parade’s Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox🎬 Franklin Steams Up Instagram With Her Bikini Pics Franklin, known for other legendary flicks like Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure and How I Got into College, is doing better than ever these days.
