Yep Mena Suvari is in that, too. She has a bit of an odd look but sexy.

The woman that really does it for me in American Beauty is Annette Bening....
Was that Kevin's daughter? If so, I have to agree. What a set! Holy smokes!

No, that's Thora Birch playing the daughter, Jane; only 17 at the time of the movie release (looked it up). I'm more a more-than-a-mouthful-is-a-waste kind of guy in that department ;).

Just finished American Beauty, thanks for the suggestion. Another imdb tidbit...Kevin's middle name is Spacey (birth surname Fowler).

I did not know that Jane was only 17 at that time. Hard to believe they let her expose that set then. Looks like to me that would not be allowed. But, I could be wrong. Did not know Kevin's middles name is Spacey. Thanks for pointing that out Chris.

I was curious also, that's why I looked up her age to begin with on imdb; more accustomed to depicted high schoolers actually being much older. Thora was 17 at time of release but 16 at time of filming apparently, and had parental permission as well as a representative from the state child labor organization on site approving it. Ironically she'd not be able to go see her own movie by herself due to the R rating the film had. I like reading about movies while I watch 'em :)

Honestly, I don;t think it should be allowed. The blonde was 20=years old at the time of shooting. So, that is more acceptable. But 16 or even 17? No way! I feel bad even commenting on such a nice set. If I had known that she was that young, I would have never done so. But, it is still an awesome movie.

That would be more up to her imho; you're not a dirty old man for admiring them either. :)

True, but when someone is that young they are really not capable making decisions like that. I don't feel like a dirty old man, but I am just in a bit of shock here. I know that they cast actors that are older than they look for roles like that. I am sure it is not as easy to do as many may think. But it is what it is. You ever watch Fargo? I loved that one too......LOL!!!!

Well, I think they can handle this at that age; in some societies at that age they're already married/working/fighting wars. I think a little nudity is well within the capabilities of a 16 year old to be okay with or not. I think Americans tend to be quite prudish and it has always amazed me but I guess its the puritanical roots. Her parents may have signed off on it, but I'd bet it was her decision; if she were forced into it by her parents for the paycheck, that I'd have an issue with (or if they spent her earnings on themselves without her permission).

In any case that seems to be the only time she did it (got it out of her system or didn't like the consequences, who knows?), at least from what I find in an image search for Thora Birch nude (some of the usual fake celebrity porn stuff but only the American Beauty pics otherwise); couldn't find her own comments on the subject with a brief search either.

I have my own Fargo cap even (got it with the purchase of season 1 bluray), big fan. You talking movie only? Have you seen both seasons of the series yet?

Yeah I was talking movie only. Sorry for such a late reply, but we had a power outage that lasted a good while. Thank GOD the power is back on now. Very cold here tonight.

Very nice collection. Be sure to add K-PAX. It is really good. The movie is a bit out there so to speak, but Kevin makes it brilliant! Plan to see it again just as time allows. Epix is wearing American Beauty out......LOL!!!!!

Cheers,

Phil
