In The First Wives Club, released in 1996, Hawn, Midler and Keaton play former college friends who reunite at a funeral. When they discover that their friend died after hearing about her ex-husband’s marriage to a younger woman, the three divorceès set out to seek revenge on their own exes.

The blockbuster comedy, based off a 1993 novel written by Olivia Goldsmith, grossed $180 million worldwide and was directed by Hugh Wilson.

Actress Marcia Gay Harden recently reminisced on her role in The First Wives Club as a therapist to Keaton’s character. After recounting a hilarious scene from the film where Harden gets a beating from Keaton, she described Hawn, Midler and Keaton as “legends.”

“For me, they were legends,” Harden told PEOPLE TV’s Lola Ogunnaike. “I just remember Goldie being so funny — and kind of being in awe of the legends they were.”
