Question about first nude scene...


Near the beginning...the 3 girls are talking about April's mom being in Vegas and smoking cigs...then the dark haired girl tells April how she can make $450 in 2 hours...and the scene changers to the well built, awkward topless girl getting pics of her taken by the weirdo photog...my question: WHO IS THAT GIRL? And is it just me or does it not make sense that the girl would be a character that we haven't seen yet?

Thanks.

That actress is Robin Sydney, who is one of the relatively few young American actresses who will actually take her clothes off while making a movie with two shower scenes, several sex scenes, two nude photography scenes, and one nude videography scene.

I think the producers felt bad they'd made a completely sex-obsessed movie with no nudity because they evidently cast a bunch of actresses with "no nudity" clauses in their contracts (even though none of them is particularly talented and has only gotten where they are because of their looks). Therefore, they brought Robin Sydney in simply to do a topless scene, even though she isn't otherwise in the frickin' movie!

Modern American cinema is a mass of contradictions--completely sex obsessed but prudish about nudity yet also still perfectly fine gawking at an underage girl (Willa Holland) in her underwear. . .

Thank you for the answer and supporting information. Totally agree with the third paragraph, as well.
