...for portraying a teenager. Couldn't they have gotten someone ravishing? Perhaps, Charlotte Rampling?

There is no "off" position on the genius switch.

She isn't thick in the middle, she's cuddly
Don't be misled by these impossibly and unhealthily skinny, airbrushed pictures in magazines. Some of us prefer real women

How many films or TV shows which portray an underage teenager in a sexual situation have the role actually played by an underage teenager? Not many.

Think of all those American high school dramas where the students look to be in their 30s or 40s

At least Helen was only 24 in this

Natassia Kinski comes to mind but she was only 9 years old then. Way too young.

I agree...well over the Age of Consent. But she really looked to have the curvy, voluptuous body that inspires many artists to take up their brushes to canvas.
