License to Drive

20th Century Fox

Designed as a vehicle (sorry) for the Coreys, pals Corey Haim and Corey Feldman, License to Drive is best remembered today as the breakout role for Heather Graham, who played the movie’s ’80s dream girl, Mercedes.

Graham recently recalled in a talk at the San Luis Obispo Internationally Film Festival that she was 17 when she was cast in the film. She was surprised by her co-stars’ drug use.

“I was super sheltered, and hanging around with kids my age that were doing lots of drugs, that was new for me, because I wasn’t very wild like that,” she said.

She also recalled having a crush on Corey Haim, so their onscreen chemistry (above) was real. The film was a success, earning $22 million on an $8 million budget.
