Diane Franklin, beloved for her role as Monique in “Better Off Dead,” is fully embracing nostalgia by showing up to conventions dressed exactly like her iconic character—complete with signature hair, jacket, and hat. Inspired by Tom Lester’s character costume at a meet-up, she’s committed to making fans smile and reconnect with joyful memories. Her fans love it—Dominique Swain even recreated a famous scene with her. Though her curls are now longer and looser than the tight 80s style, she keeps the dark brown hue, honoring her role as a teen “dream girl” that helped popularize perms. At 64, Franklin proves retro looks still pack a punch—and she’s sticking with them.
