Griffin Dunne, 68, blames 'humorless' Madonna for box office flop that sent his Hollywood career into freefall in candid new memoir
In his new memoir, The Friday Afternoon Club, Griffin Dunne slams 1987 comedy film and box office flop as one of his less 'sensible' career choices
'We were developing a script called White Palace that I was confident I'd star in, but as my stock dropped after Who's That Girl, James Spader's rose after winning best actor in Cannes for Sex, Lies and Videotape, and he got the part in the movie I produced instead of me,' he writes. Writing candidly, Dunne reveals how the hit, Every Breath You Take, by The Police, exacerbated his pain over his sibling's death after the song - whose lyrics are written from the point of view of a possessive lover - topped the Billboard charts for eight weeks in 1983. In The Friday Afternoon Club, which is sure to be one of showbusiness's hottest memoirs of the summer, Dunne recounts his exploits growing up in Hollywood and rubbing shoulders with the Kennedy Family, Sean Connery, Tennessee Williams and Truman Capote.
