Skin Deep (1984 film)

Skin Deep is a 1984 Australian television film produced by PBL Productions for Channel 9. It was directed by Chris Langman and Mark Joffe and stars Briony Behets and Carmen Duncan and features an early appearance by Nicole Kidman.

Set in the fashion industry, it was one of the few Australian films to be set in this milieu and was an attempt to do an Australian Dallas or Dynasty.
