I have always wondered why parents would give their consent to their child appearing in the above. eg. Kirsten Dunst was 12 when she acted in Interview with a Vampire. The film was an 18 and she played a massive part in it.
How about the girl from the film version of Lolita? she spent two hours hitting on/tapping Jeremy Irons, and she was like 14....parental fail?
My mate's lil sister was an extra in a film called Penetration Angst when she was like 11, which i still can't find on the internet anywhere because it's so messed, and her mum just didn't let her watch it. Sucks to be her.
