THE GOODBYE GIRL (1977)

When a divorced woman and her daughter arrive home at their apartment to find it vacated by her boyfriend, who is allegedly on an out-of-town job, albeit without a warning, they find, in his stead, an actor subletting the apartment for the missing boyfriend. Though the mother is hesitant at first, after some consideration, she decides to share the apartment with him, which of course, leads to some interesting twists and turns in her personal life unforeseen even by her insistent will to stay away from actors altogether.
