On this day, January 24, 1986, the romantic comedy My Chauffeur premiered in theaters. Directed by David Beaird, the film starred Deborah Foreman as Casey Meadows, a free-spirited woman hired as a chauffeur for an elite limo company. Along the way, she faces comedic challenges, eccentric clients, and a budding romance with a wealthy passenger played by Sam J. Jones.

With its quirky humor and charm, My Chauffeur became a modest box office success, earning $4.7 million. The film’s mix of romance and comedy made it a cult favorite among fans of 80s movies, and Deborah Foreman’s spirited performance stood out as a highlight.

Fun Fact: Deborah Foreman was no stranger to 80s cult classics—she also starred in Valley Girl (1983), a defining teen movie of the decade.

Trivia Question: What iconic superhero did Sam J. Jones portray in the 1980 sci-fi cult classic Flash Gordon?
