...Made It Real Big in the Last Five Years"--Ron Howard (excellent as always at doing the same goddamned thing), Cindy Williams (magnificent; the best performance in the film.

What a shame...), Richard Dreyfuss (a shallow, hammy, wise-ass punk of an actor, but he was less offensive back then, and is used marvelously here), Harrison Ford (amusing), MacKenzie Phillips (see Harrison Ford), Candy Clark and--for a few seconds, Suzanne Somers.

Raffin, 25, plays a waitress who takes up truck driving after her husband abandons her and the kids. To prepare for the role, she put in 50 hours learning how to drive a 16-wheel, 40,000-lb. rig. "It's so powerful you could almost run down a street light and not know it," says Raffin. "I was petrified."
