I first saw this at 14 and she became the perfect fantasy. Vacation, beautiful island, and a sexy horndog chick.
A few minutes ago the fantasy of my youth was a bit tainted, finding out she's actually 17 in those scenes. I dunno, when I was 14-17, I wouldn't've cared. But at 29, uhhhhhhhhh
For those who follow baseball, she ended up marrying ex-Giant/Diambondback/Indian Matt Williams. A big, tall, bald guy. -

Yep that is correct. Old looking Matt Williams who was baldy by his rookie year. I remember during the world series they would keep flashing back to her and I said to myself. Uh oh I know who that is and how i would stay up and watch Cinemax after my parents went to sleep. Those boobs were as perfect as they get.

How could Hollywood have overlooked someone like Michelle Johnson who was not promoted like Demi Moore was, even though anyone who saw this film wanted to see more of Michelle and could care less about Demi?
Hollywood seems to be more about jumping through hoops and sleeping with influencial people than talent. -

Just caught Blame it on Rio tonight. Michelle Johnson was gorgeous, her voluptuous body would probably be considered grossly obese by today's hollywood standards, unfortunately. That scene where she takes a picture of herself for Michael Caine was awesome, gorgeous hips, breasts, legs, she had it all in 1984.

It's a shame that her career in film didn't progress. She had "star quality" but then again lots of young women make a big splash in Hollywood only to fall prey to bad management, substance abuse problems, and the like.

Stunning. I watched this movie when I was a young teen and couldn't wait to grow up and look like her (i.e. have her boobs)! Her body is amazing.
I love this movieone of my favorite guilty pleasures!

This was one of my guilty pleasures too, same with Summer Lovers. Maybe not great movies, but they stick with you when you see them in your early teens. Along with Michelle Johnson in this movie, others that made an impression on me were Sherilynn Fenn in Two Moon Junction, Phoebe Cates in Paradise, Kathleen Turner in Body Heat (which was actually a very good movie) and Kim Basinger in 9 1/2 Weeks. While they might have been good in other roles, they were perfect in these roles and that cannot be duplicated.
P.S. - I wanted to have her boobs too, but I'm certain not in the same way as you -

I agree. I watched "Blame it on Rio" on tv last night (Saturday night late night movie) and I was initially interested in the film at the beginning because I'm a Michael Caine fan (a consistently good actor). I had no idea what the film was about and where it was heading. Then Michelle Johnson was introduced and WOW, what an instant knockout! Each scene with her had me FLOORED. Damn, how I wish I was around in 1984 (FYI I was born in 1985 LOL). She is so beautiful, stunning, gorgeous and hot! What a body, what a person! She's all those positive adjectives and many more lol.
I had a cursory look at her profile on wikipedia and imdb and it's a real shame that she hasn't had any big roles or anything substantial throughout her career. In recent years (other than 2004's "Mickey") she has done nothing. It would be really good if we can see her again in something, especially well known. Come on, Hollywood, give her another shot!
