Forever, Lulu is a 1987 comedy-mystery film starring Hanna Schygulla, Deborah Harry and Alec Baldwin, in his film debut. The film also features Dr. Ruth Westheimer, Wayne Knight, and director Amos Kollek.
Plot
The film centers on a German woman, Elaine Hines (Hanna Schygulla), living in New York City with aspirations of becoming a writer. Reality settles in when Elaine loses her secretary job at a toilet seat company. Her agent calls her manuscript unsellable and not salacious enough. As if life is unbearable for Elaine, her unexpected blind date turns disastrous. She runs out in the run, waving a gun in the air. At the same time as her breakdown occurs, a couple sees her in the rain, babbling uncontrollably. They assume she's violent, so they give her their coats. Inside one of the coats' pockets is a picture of the blonde woman (Deborah Harry) she previously encountered, signed "Forever, Lulu" and an address. Elaine's life takes a crazy turn that involves gangsters, money, drugs, a handsome cop (Alec Baldwin) and the mystery blonde in the photograph.
Box office information
According to Box Office Mojo, Forever, Lulu grossed $36,786 in its brief North American theatrical run.[1]
