In 1985, Lauper began her association with films by writing, producing and performing the title track for the Stephen Spielberg-produced "Goonies". Her screen debut was opposite Jeff Goldblum as (what else?) an eccentric psychic in the ill-fated comedy "Vibes" (1988). She was seen to much better effect as Michael J. Fox's wise secretary in "Life With Mikey" (1993) and in guest appearances on the popular sitcom "Mad About You" (NBC, 1994 and 1995 ) which earned her an Emmy Award. A reworked, reggae-tinged version of her first hit, "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" called "Hey, Now" was featured in the drag comedy "To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar" (1995).
