appealing screen role in years. The following year he had an

female lead in Grease 2 (1982) should have been a plum,
but the film was a flop. She then held her own alongside Cher,
Susan Sarandon, and Jack Nicholson in 1987's The Witches of
Eastwick but really blossomed in Jonathan Demme's lively
comedy Married to the Mob (1988), in a knowing and
appealing performance as a mobster's young widow. Later that year
