Back in 1987, Andrew McCarthy fell in love with a Mannequin, who only came to life for him. Now, almost 35 years later, he still gets emotional when he sees one.
If it is a female one, it gets his heart beating really fast. However, if they are broken up and in a million pieces, it breaks his heart. How romantic that a movie he starred in touched him as much as it did.
I just hope he doesn’t have the same reaction when he sees a dead person being carried around like they are still alive.
I guess you can say in the ’80s; he was typecast as someone who works well with stiffs, Molly Ringwald in Pretty In Pink, Kim Cattrall in Mannequin, and Terry Kiser in Weekend at Bernie’s. Sorry, Molly, I had to go there.
BTW McCarthy has a memoir out now called Brat: An ’80s Story detailing his experience on all of those movies and so much more.
