Belinda Carlisle
The director of Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven Is a Place on Earth" was the legendary Diane Keaton. The Oscar-winning actress brought her unique, romantic filmmaking style to the video, creating the soft-focus, dreamlike aesthetic that made it an 80s classic. The handsome man who appears in the video is Morgan Mason, Belinda Carlisle's husband at the time. The song features backing vocals from Michelle Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas and the legendary songwriter Diane Warren, who co-wrote the track. The video was nominated for Best Female Video at the 1988 MTV Video Music Awards, but lost to "I Think We're Alone Now" by Tiffany.
