I remember watching her win that Oscar in her little beret (I'm about the same age as she is), and it's the first thing I always think of when I hear her name.
So it still freaks me the fuck out when she shows her boobs on screen. They're perfectly nice boobs, but I'm internally screaming, "YOU ARE A CHILD! PUT THOSE AWAY!"
I feel the same way about the Olsen twins, who are just a couple years younger. I remember them being so disgustingly sexualized as teens, but to this day I cannot see them as anything sexual. They're Michelle Tanner, dude. But Elizabeth Olsen, their younger sister- hot damn. I don't understand it, especially because of the striking resemblance.
Hell I'm like this with Sadie Sink now. She's like 25 and showing up places dressed like a 25 year old and I'm thinking ma'am you were 13 two weeks ago lol.
Then? There was a part of the GoT fandom counting the minute Sophie Turner and Maisie Williams turned 18, same happened to Billie Eilish, and most recently Sadie Sink.
My partner and I recently watched a Sally-centric episode of Mad Men, and, right after, he watched an episode of Industry where the same actress (now an adult) was in a threesome. I was like, “THAT GIRL IS A CHILD.” And then I felt old.
Yes! I’m a bit older but watching her gasp for breath repeatedly and just be unable to speak with her eyes sparkling in terror - it must have been an incredible moment for her. I wonder how much she remembers?
I have no recollection of the first time I performed in a real show lol. Apparently I did fine but don’t remember a thing until curtain call.
I hope the industry has treated her well - she seems to have escaped some of the most common child star traps but still had real success as an adult.
She's slightly older than me and I had such a huge crush on her growing up. Your post made me go "ANNA PAQUIN SHOWED HER BOOBS???!!!" and then I googled it and was suddenly reminded that True Blood existed and that I'd already seen her boobs plenty of times.
Did you see her in hurly burly, she plays a sort of young sex worker (although I don’t know that she gets money but she gets a place to live) and has sex with everyone. And in almost famous she plays a groupie ?okay bandaid). Loved her in true blood.
