The First Wives Club



Marriage has turned into a crash dive for Brenda, Elise and Annie. Brenda married an electronics-emporium magnate, Elise became a film star & Annie an Upper East Side housewife. The three reunite at a funeral after the fourth member of their college gang killed herself, after her husband left her for a younger women. They learn each has just been callously dumped by her husband in exchange for a younger, sexier "trophy wife." Smarting from the pain, Brenda, Elise and Annie join forces and concoct a plan to exact the most exquisitely bitter vengeance upon their "exes." They helped them rise, now they will help them fall. The First Wives Club is now in session.

Trivia Facts

Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler, and Diane Keaton were all born within 45 days of each other, and celebrated their 50th birthdays together while filming this movie.

Brenda holds up Elise's academy award and remarks, "...It says 'I beat Meryl.'" In the movie Death Becomes Her (1992), Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep play characters who compete with each other for everything.

"The First Wives Club" is the second time that Diane Keaton and Jennifer Dundas (Lowe) have played mother and daughter. The first time was in Mrs. Soffel (1984), when Dundas was still being billed as Jennie Dundas.

Doctors created Goldie Hawn's simulated collagen treatment by injecting her lips with a harmless saline solution. Though temporary, Hawn later remarked in interviews that the experience was quite painful and that it had discouraged her from ever getting collagen for real.

In an interview, Bette Midler mentioned that all three main cast members wanted to make a sequel, but the studio was not agreeable, as they viewed the success of this film as a "fluke".
