I Bet You Didn't Know...

Singles, Hype!, and Kurt & Courtney depicted the "Seattle Music Scene" the kids know and love; but The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989) depicted a "scene" Seattle civic officials would much rather promote -- piano bars and lounge singers. Beau and Jeff Bridges are the ivory-ticklin' boys; Michelle Pfeiffer's the torch queen who rescues Jeff from an existence of sullen solitude and tawdry sex. We know about the latter because of a brief scene, shot in the apartments above the 2 Dagos From Texas restaurant, with Jeff and a character identified in the credits only as "Girl in Bed" (played by Terri Treas, later on TV's Alien Nation).
