I hated modeling. I wasn’t tall or beautiful enough to become a real model. Once I got my first commercial, I quit print. I started taking acting lessons and speech lessons to lose my southern accent. My real break came when I got the Bruce Springsteen “Dancing in the Dark” video. Brian DePalma cast me over a couple hundred other girls. He wanted someone who could look surprised when Bruce pulled her out of the audience, take after take, and that was me.
So was she just a completely random person in the audience, or planted there? The way the camera keeps looking at her specifically makes it seem like she was setup there.
@kenyoung1981 Springstein was well known for spotting "nice girls " in the audience at his concerts ,before he went on stage for this song he instructed his stage director to focus on Miss Cox .....the rest is history . long live the BOSS
Still love this videoclip, Courteney was so young! When they bring this clip up in interviews now she gets all embarressed, i think it's really cute! <3
This song makes me happy, although it´s not exactly romantic (you´d be falling over things n´ other unpleasant stuff). If 1:08 would actually happen these days, Bruce would think: OMG, Courtney Cox! What da hell are you doing down there, come on up; maybe the new album ´ll sell better...
@RSVPBlogger - yeah, where would I get a crazy idea like that. Oh wait, maybe an interview with Courtney Cox! Yes she won the audition, to be in the video, but being on stage was a surprise at the time. As for the stairs, she thought the blonde next to her was going up, so that explains them, and as for the camera, sure, they shot a bunch of takes, but when she went up on stage, it was unexpected to her. Quit with your conspiracy theories, and just accept it. Why would Cox lie about it?
Reason why mature women are more sexier, look at Courteney Bass Cox Arqutte now, comparing to this video. Most beautiful woman on Earth, by the way i am 22 and Bruce S. was my favorite tape when i was just a little kid. I dont know why i've been tkinking that Martin Scorsese shoot this video, but not.
@damsbaug - Get real. Seriously. Honestly, how people come up with this dumb sort of crap is a mystery.
This is a music video that took an entire day to shoot. It was scripted and directed and Courtney herself talks about winning the audition for this part.
More clues: There are steps in front of where she was standing so she could get onto the stage easily. There are two closeups on her face, including just moments before BS pulls her up, yet that cameraman has vanished in the next shot.
Um, well there's a strong hint that this wasn't "completely random" in that there is a camera close-up on Cox prior to him pulling her out of the crowd. She was cast for this role just like every other actor in everything ever.
I like bruce and courtney but until today a friend who knows the other work of bruce tell me i don't have dancing in the dark, and my friend share almost 600 videos from bruce and the e street band, thank you for this video, i'm still dancing in the street after a ... few years. i can only say have a nice afternoon.
