This was the second onscreen pairing of Chevy and Goldie following their hugely popular 1978 film, Foul Play!

Death Becomes Her (1992)

"Some people will go to any lengths to stay young forever…"

Wildcats (1986)

Go Goldie! The actress played the daughter of a famed football coach who coaches her own team to a state championship victory in this cute film.

Bird on a Wire (1990)

In this hilarious comedy, Goldie crosses paths with her former fiancé — played by a swoon-worthy Mel Gibson — 15 years after he entered the witness protection program for helping convict a drug-dealing FBI agent.

Housesitter (1992)

The actress perfectly portrayed a woman with con-artist tendencies who worms her way into the life (and heart!) of a stodgy architect (Steve Martin) by claiming to be his wife in this adorable rom-com!

The First Wives Club (1996)

Best. Movie. Ever! This comedy stars Goldie, Diane Keaton, and Bette Midler as three divorced women who seek revenge on their ex-husbands who left them for younger women.

Foul Play (1978)

This film, in which Goldie plays a recently divorced librarian who loses her memory after being mysteriously attacked, was the first time the actress and Chevy Chase appeared onscreen together!

Private Benjamin (1980)

In one of the funniest movies of all time, Goldie played Judy Benjamin, a 28-year-old woman who receives a rude awakening when she joins the Army after her new husband (Albert Brooks) dies on their wedding night.

This iconic film was so popular it spawned a short-lived TV series in 1981 and is now reportedly being remade into a new movie starring Rebel Wilson!

Overboard (1987)

Though this romantic comedy was only considered a mild success when it first hit theaters in 1987, it has since become a cult classic due to its popularity on cable TV.

In the film, Goldie plays a spoiled woman who falls overboard while trying to find her wedding ring on the deck of her yacht. She develops amnesia from the fall and is rescued by a carpenter — played by her real-life longtime love, Kurt Russell — who convinces her she is his wife and the mother of their four rowdy sons!
