However, it was when American Girl was used in a key scene in the Oscar-winning Silence of the Lambs in 1991 that his work joined the ranks of tracks that became forever linked to iconic moments in cinema. The film also marked Petty's first appearance on the big screen thanks to a cameo. He followed that with a small part in Made in Heaven and appeared, as himself, in several episodes of It's Garry Shandling's Show between 19.Īppearances on the soundtracks of WKRP in Cincinnati, Miami Vice and others followed in the 80s. The first feature to have that honor was FM, a cult classic about a Los Angeles radio station, which used Breakdown and American Girl. Just a year after the 1977 release of the band’s debut album, Hollywood was already clambering to feature their work on soundtracks. Petty’s music has had a strong connection with the big and small screen that started right at the very beginning of their professional career.
