After “Stuck With You,” I had a plethora of casting calls. Occasionally I didn’t live up to someone’s fantasy of the “island girl” in the video. Suddenly I was the “girl in the video.” People wanted to meet me. I believe Huey and the band won the American Music Award for best music video that year. It was hugely popular and I was proud to be a part of it. I thought “Stuck With You” was delightfully engaging. Huey spotted me $500 and that’s the night I discovered I was a natural at playing blackjack! I do recall being awakened from a deep sleep by Huey and some of the guys well after midnight and being persuaded to join them at the casino. Let’s just say…I was immune to any advances.
Huey was married and I was in a relationship. They all seemed relaxed and to genuinely enjoy what they were doing…being rock stars. And most of the band members had a great sense of humor. Huey Lewis had a casual, easy elegance and charm. How was it to work with the band? What were they like? Did any of them hit on you? The footage also offered some insight into sexism in the media, the MTV machine, and the music business. Blank took viewers behind the scenes to observe what ensues when a hit song is converted into a visual medium and one of the best known rock-and-roll bands of the ‘80s become actors. Blank was a genius in his own right and I was fortunate to be simultaneously cast in a music video as well as his documentary. Les Blank, a renowned independent documentary filmmaker known for his poetic glimpses into the lives of artistic individuals as well as his intimate portraits of musicians, was on set filming Be-Fore: The Making of a Music Video.
It was an exciting moment in time because it felt like we were making a short film. The pristine island was a little jewel with white sand, breathtakingly clear seawater lapping at the shoreline, a thick grove of lush coconut palms…and no development whatsoever… a truly magical, dream location. Huey was flirting with my character at garden party but ultimately we found ourselves washed up on a remote tropical island-my favorite thing in the world-following a mock-shark attack. The opening sequence took place in Nassau. Everyone knew who Huey Lewis and the News were following the success of their album “Sports” and their song “The Power of Love” for Back to the Future. Were you a fan of Huey Lewis and the News’s music? The music video industry was breaking ground at the time-it was all so new. There were only a few dozen music videos playing in rotation. MTV was hip, innovative, and showcasing artists in a unique way. The job paid union scale, which wasn’t a lot of money at the time, but it seemed like a lovely opportunity.
