LOS ANGELES TIMES, Sept. 19, 1982 (an original vintage newspaper leaf from the Calendar section)  This offering consists of four complete pages (two double-sided sheets on one single leaf), serving as a rare piece of cinematic ephemera, highlighted by an original vintage print advertisement announcing the upcoming opening day premiere of  "THE LAST AMERICAN VIRGIN" on one of the pages. (see images). This film was still a few months away from the release.
In addition to the featured movie ad, which captures the era's distinct theatrical promotional graphics and classic key art, the surrounding pages provide a fascinating snapshot of late 20th-century entertainment and pop culture. Printed on authentic newsprint with genuine vintage toning, this original leaf is not a modern reprint, making it an ideal piece for custom framing, film history display, or inclusion in a dedicated cinema memorabilia collection.

Background: Despite being marketed as a standard, rowdy 1980s teen sex comedy alongside films like Porky's, Boaz Davidson’s The Last American Virgin (1982)—an American remake of his 1978 Israeli hit Lemon Popsicle—achieved cult significance by subverting genre tropes with stark, uncompromising realism. Its defining impact lies in its notoriously heartbreaking ending, where the earnest protagonist Gary sells his prized possessions to pay for his crush Karen's abortion after she is abandoned by his charismatic, rebellious friend Rick, only to be devastated when Karen ultimately chooses to reunite with Rick anyway. Set against a defining early-1980s new wave and rock soundtrack featuring artists like The Police, Journey, Devo, and The Cars, the film delivers a sobering antidote to typical Hollywood Wish-fulfillment, cementing its reputation as one of the most uniquely gut-wrenching and memorable coming-of-age films of its decade.
