The Goodbye Girl

At 36, Paula McFadden, a musical dancer whose career is winding down, was living comfortably with actor Tony DeSanti. However, instead of bringing her along to Hollywood, Tony lands a role in a European film and rents out their New York apartment to Elliot Garfield. Elliot, showing kindness, allows Paula to stay and even lets her keep the master bedroom. Paula’s practical young daughter, Lucy, quickly warms up to Elliot’s charm, but Paula is resolute in her disdain for actors. Meanwhile, Elliot, who is under pressure to perform a Broadway Shakespeare role with an unconventional twist, is determined to find love despite Paula’s initial ingratitude.
