Here’s a collection of original Polaroid photos from Amy Osborn Young, who was an extra in The Outsiders while filming the Drive-In scene at the Admiral Twin in 1982. Amy also is a volunteer at The Outsiders House Museum.
The Outsiders is a 1983 American coming-of-age crime drama film directed by Francis Ford Coppola. The film is an adaptation of the 1967 novel of the same name by S. E. Hinton and was released on March 25, 1983, in the United States. Jo Ellen Misakian, a librarian at Lone Star Elementary School in Fresno, California, and her students were responsible for inspiring Coppola to make the film.
The film was shot on location in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Filming took place from March 29 to May 15, 1982. A newspaper used to show a story about the three greasers saving the kids in The Outsiders includes a real story from 1982 regarding the death of a man hit by a train in Boston. Coppola’s craving for realism almost led to disaster during the church-burning scene. He pressed for “more fire,” and the small, controlled blaze accidentally triggered a much larger, uncontrolled fire, which a downpour doused.
The Outsiders is noted for its cast of up-and-coming stars, including C. Thomas Howell (who garnered a Young Artist Award), Rob Lowe, in his feature film debut, Emilio Estevez, Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Patrick Swayze, Ralph Macchio, and Diane Lane.
