Rich Girl (film)

Rich Girl is a 1991 American romantic drama film directed by Joel Bender[1] and written from the screenplay of Robert Elliot.

The film stars Jill Schoelen[1] in the title role, along with Cherie Currie and Paul Gleason in the supporting cast.

The film centers around a wealthy girl from Bel-Air, who is tired of living off her wealthy family's name and decides to prove her independence from her overbearing father and obnoxious ex-fiancé by making her way in life by becoming a waitress at a nightclub and ends up falling in love with one of the club's rock musicians.

A secretary at one job interview suggests that Courtney apply to Rocco's, a nightclub.

The owner of Roccos discovers that Courtney is the daughter of Marvin Wells and hires her as a management trainee.

Originally intended as a made-for-television film, Columbia Pictures RCA home video picked up the project to make it a direct-to-video release but when Studio Three Films and Film West picked up the project, it managed to receive a limited release through select theaters nationwide.
