Happy Birthday Courtney Cox! Bruce Springsteen was already a massive star by 1984 when this video was filmed. His Born in the U.S.A. album was about to drop, and his record label wanted a hit music video to promote the lead single, “Dancing in the Dark.” Enter Brian De Palma, the famed director (Scarface, Carrie), who was hired to direct the video. De Palma came up with the idea of having Bruce pull a fan onstage at the end of the song and dance with her—except it wasn’t going to be a real fan.
