Julie Harris was 27 when this came out. She looks like she's in her mid 30s and she's playing a 12 year old. I don't know how anyone can look past this. She's drasticially out of place and miscast in this film. It's just odd that anyone would think this would work.
shareTotally agree! I just began watching this, and when she states in the first few minutes of the movie that she's 12 it was a true WTF moment. I don't know if I'll continue watching since it really is ridiculous casting and exceeds the bounds of "suspension of reality"
on a side note, she reminds me of Cynthia Nixon.
When I first saw this movie, it was she in the kitchen in her slip the day before the wedding, and I thought it was a 12 year old boy, so to me it was very believable. Also keep in mind though the whole point is Frankie DOESN'T look like a child otherwise that sailor would never have taken her into the backroom.
