@Null & @Lidl Drip w/r/t Thora Birch, it might be helpful to understand that her parents were porn stars; this was something I'd overheard IRL at first, but I did just verify it on Wikipedia. The IRL contact who originally gave the information had seen them at a movie premiere and had more or less stated that they looked about how you would expect [a couple of smut makers who would allow their kid do a nude scene] them to look.

Does it count if she is part jewish but also part everything else? Also lmao @ "Thora" and her brother "Bolt".

Unfortunately her mothers great success in "Deep Throat" has not earned her an extensive Wikipedia article with an early life section, just says she was born in "New Jersey".
 
I didn't even realize she was underage, but I was about 12 when this came out so I just assumed everyone that looked older than me was an adult.
I saw this when I was young too, I didn't pick up so much on the ages of the actresses(?) of course but I do remember being creeped out the way they tried to make the creepy guy who films her into the good guy and that the only reason her dad doesn't fuck his daughter's high school friend is that she is a virgin and not you know, because she's a kid still in school.
Even back then I felt that the movie was really fucked up and I rarely ever thought deeply about things, when the spacey stuff came out my immediate thought was "Wow, So he really is the character from American Beauty"
 
So now that we've established that the actress is underage, what happens if you upload a screen cap to Twitter? Is it CP?

Are you allowed to show the clip on YouTube? You can rent the actual movie from YouTube.

Underage nudity is not automatically considered child pornography. It's complicated. The legal gist is, the movie is art and the nudity exists to complement the art, not to be obscene. You could, conceivably, do something with still images of it to cause problems for yourself, but it would be hard.

That explains a lot. Sharon Stone had a bunch of underage nudity out there but there was no mistaking that she wasn't a young adult. She was 10-12 at most.
 
There's a lot of examples of underage nudity in American media from the 60s up until about the 90s. I'm not really sure why and I've never bothered to look into it.

One example I remember was Olivia Hussey in Romeo and Juliet, which our English teacher played for us in High School. She was 15 at the time and her costar was 17. At the time of filming they both gave interviews expressing how comfortable they were filming the scene and how it was necessary for the artistic integrity of the film. Of course, they would later sue the film studio and director saying they experienced decades of trauma once they reached an adult age.
 
it was necessary for the artistic integrity of the film.
I hate this argument, firstly nude scenes are always super awkward whenever you watch with friends or family and often just completely unnecessary and forced into the movie. Secondly the movie is hardly going to be ruined if you just implied the nudity or sex scene with a more tasteful well cropped shot.

You ever read about Chloe Sevingy of American Psycho fame and that art house movie where the director who stars in the movie just has her blow him on camera? Like a full-on actual blowjob as if it's some profound artistic statement and not just the guy wanting to show the world him getting a blowjob from Sevigny. Spare me.
 
Me too. I'm not a puritan by any means but I cannot think of a single artistic work whose integrity depended on the inclusion of a graphic nude/sex scene.
It's just the producers wanting to film an actress they are attracted to naked and also I guess it makes more men go to the movies, especially back when Internet pornography wasn't as easily accessible. Lots of movies include the producers fetishes in more or less subtle ways like Terrantino with his foot fetish.
