The Story Behind Perfect’s Iconic Aerobics Scenes

Hollywood history is filled with films that appeared destined for success long before audiences ever purchased a ticket. Sometimes a talented cast, an experienced director, a generous production budget, and major studio backing seem to guarantee a box-office hit.

Yet the film industry has repeatedly demonstrated that commercial success is never certain. One of the most interesting examples from the 1980s is Perfect, released in 1985 and starring John Travolta and Jamie Lee Curtis.
