When this was filmed...


How old was Drew Barrymore? I mean it appeared at Sundance which is always held in January and it was 1992 of that year so I imagine 16, maybe 17. Not that it matters, but I wonder if this film were made today would the filmmakers get away with using an actress of that age in the film for those scenes. I read something once that Jaime Pressly was her body double but I find that absurd; mostly because Jaime Pressly is younger than Drew Barrymore. It appeared to be Drew Barrymore in the more graphic scenes and even if it wasn't there was still a good amount of sexuality that was simulated between her and Tom skerrit that clearly wasn't a body double. It just seems that people are so much less accepting of performers doing thier job and forget it really is just acting.

She was an emancipated minor, so in the court she would be considered an adult...but, if I were Tom I would refuse to do sex scenes with a 16 year old girl. It's just wrong. (And I AM a 16 year old girl...lol)
