In mid-90s Beverly Hills, rich and popular Cher (Silverstone) rules her high school. When she gives klutzy new student Tai (Brittany Murphy) a makeover, Tai becomes more popular. Funny, stylish, and driven by its own memorable vernacular, this box-office hit was Heckerling’s second successful tour of California teendom after Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Presented in conjunction with the Chazen Museum of Art’s exhibition, Petah Coyne: How Much A Heart Can Hold, this series presents four feature films that are all adaptations of stories or novels by writers who influenced Coyne’s body of work: Jane Austen, Yusanari Kawabata, Joyce Carol Oates, and Joan Didion. Each of these authors inspired original Coyne works in the exhibition, which can be viewed at the Chazen September 9 through December 23.
