These are just a couple things you probably didn't know about the beloved 1983 film "The Outsiders," it's actors and the making of the movie. These are some fun facts about the movie that was interesting to me and I thought I'd share with you. Enjoy...
FRANCIS WANTED THE ACTORS THAT PLAYED GREASERS TO REALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT A GREASER WAS, BEYOND A STEREOTYPE. IN ORDER TO DO THAT, HE HAD THEM SLEEPOVER AT REAL-LIFE GREASER'S HOUSES AND GET TO KNOW THEM.
Coppola made the gang sleepover at a real "Greaser's" house, in order to kind of "live the life" of a Greaser and get to know some real Greasers personally. Rob Lowe (Sodapop Curtis) and Tom Cruise (Steve Randall) had a very warm heart-to-heart conversation with the couple and got to talk to them about their childhood, being Greasers and all.
