Little girls from Jurassic Park all growed up


...and in Battledogs on Sci-fi channel the same weekend as Jurassic Park 3-D opening. Coincidence? I don't think so.

LOL... you might be onto something there... I didn't even realize it was her until I looked her up here... she seemed vaguely familiar, but I wasn't expecting to see her!

... the hardest thing in this world is to live in it...

I liked her in Jurassic Park and have often wondered what ever happened to her. Now I realize that I had seen her in a few other things but did not recognize her. I did realize who she was about half-way through this awful film. It is too bad she is doing garbage like this now. Of course the same could be said of alot of the cast members in this movie.

According to one of the TV interview shows, with her, she talked about the Jurassic Park movie, the week before the two movies came out. I also saw a few of the SyFy promos for BATTLEDOGS...

The show also mentioned she had done 14 movie and TV projects since she was in "the park".

As for the timing, refer to one of 'Leroy Jethro Gibbs' rules (from NCIS on TV), "I don't believe in coincidences."
Of course it was no accident the actors, (producers, etc.), promote a movie opening or even a TV movie/show on occasion. While I didn't catch the whole interview with Ariana, she did talk about the interview that "scream tested" the girls for the part. After she said the majority of the part involved running around screaming, she told this story about her 'test'. She said there was a secretary sleeping on a sofa in the next room (lots of girls tested that day), and her scream was so good the secretary work up and ran into the room to see what the trouble was; and she got the part immediately!

Over the course of several releases of JP, there have been lots of interviews and "behind the scenes/making of" specials, and that was new info...

P.S. I had to look up "Voorhees" because I didn't recognize her, (without the JP hairstyle), but thought it was worth the effort.

As I'm watching her on the screen (not knowing who she was), I kept looking at her facial expressions and I said "where the hell do I know this woman from?" Then I remembered JURASSIC PARK!

I was not sure. Then I went to that site on IMDB, saw her name, came here and said 'AHA!!!!!"

LOL

well I'm glad she isn't dead or ended up like a drug addict

Doesn't she look an awful lot like Kirsten dunst??

reply

Yes, I've thought Ariana Richards does look a lot like Kirsten Dunst.
Which makes Ariana disappearance from film during her 20s even more confusing.
