Age Lift | |
| Beaches / int_121b3725 | comment |
Age Lift: In the novel, the two girls meet at the ages of ten (Cee Cee) and seven (Bertie). In the film, CC and Hillary are both eleven in their first meeting. The novel also depicts their first reunion as happening in their teens, while the film has them reunite in their mid-twenties. | |

Book Ends: The song "The Glory of Love." CC sings it in the kiddie revue she performs in on the day she and Hillary first meet. She sings it again to close out her concert at the end of the movie, and it fades to black as she starts to tell Victoria about that day. | |

Spared by the Adaptation | |
| Beaches / int_7453bc5b | comment |
Spared by the Adaptation: In the original novel, a teenage CC learns that her mother has died of a heart attack. The film averts this, instead showing Leona to have moved away to Florida and bringing her back for the scene where she calls out her now-adult daughter on her behavior. | |

Dyeing for Your Art | |
| Beaches / int_b761a11e | comment |
Dyeing for Your Art: In-universe, CC briefly dyes her hair blonde in a misguided attempt at landing a role. In a show of solidarity, Hillary also dyes her hair... and winds up with the exact same color she had before. | |

Adaptation Name Change | |
| Beaches / int_dc057cf3 | comment |
Adaptation Name Change: Hillary Whitney is known as "Roberta White" in the original novel (and nicknamed "Bertie"). Her daughter's name also changed between adaptations, from "Nina Rose Barron" to "Victoria Cecile Essex". In a minor example, Cecelia's nickname is spelled as "Cee Cee" in the novel and "CC" in the film (as she's given the middle name Carol). | |

Bawdy Song | |
| Beaches / int_ff24ad1d | comment |
Bawdy Song: "Otto Titzling," a raunchy little number about the man apocryphally credited with inventing the first bra. It's part of a thoroughly tasteless revue CC stars in for the money. | |
