The Israeli millionaire Meshulam Riklis is widely credited for launching (or buying) Pia Zadora's career as a celebrity. He married her in 1977, and shortly after that she made her debut as the Dubonnet Girl, appearing in print and television commercials for the apéritif distributed by a company he owned.He then financed the movies 'Butterfly' and 'Voyage of the rock aliens', in which Zadora had a starring role. 'When the rain begins to fall' was a duet of Zadora with Jermaine Jackson, recorded for the latter movie. The song was a big success in Europe, most of all the Netherlands where it reached number 1 in the Dutch Top 40.
