Party Girl (1995), directed by Daisy von Scherler Mayer, is notable as the first commercial comedy-drama feature film shown in its entirety on the Internet.

Scripted by Mayer with Harry Birckmayer and Sheila Gaffney, the storyline follows the misadventures of free-spirited Mary (Parker Posey) on her self-destructive path of drugs and parties. Arrested for illegally charging attendees at an underground rave, she calls upon her godmother, Judy Lindendorf (Sasha von Scherler), to bail her out. So Mary can repay the loan, Judy employs her as a clerk at the library where she works. Mary reluctantly begins her new job while striking up a romance with Lebanese street vendor Mustafa (Omar Townsend). The other men in her life are her gay friend Derrick (Anthony DeSando) and Leo (Guillermo Díaz), a DJ in clubs. Things begin to fall apart when she loses her library job and is evicted from her apartment. In the end, Mary decides to study to become a librarian herself but without compromising her own sense of style and happiness. Others in the cast are Donna Mitchell and Liev Schreiber.

Party Girl is a 1958 film directed by Nicholas Ray and starring Robert Taylor and Cyd Charisse. Charisse performs two dance routines in the color gangster film. Party Girl marked the last film Robert Taylor did under contract for MGM.

A television show based on the 1995 film (with the same name) was produced in 1996. It starred Christine Taylor as Mary and Swoosie Kurtz as Judy. Marketing of the film centered around Taylor's recent popularity for her portrayal of Marcia Brady in The Brady Bunch Movie\. One television commercial featured a parody of the opening/closing credits of [[The Brady Bunch, but Taylor appeared (as Mary) in each box. Although six episodes were filmed, only three were aired and the show was quickly cancelled.
