I think I read somewhere that she was 16 during the shooting of that movie. That's bizarre if true.

I thought that sounded crazy but I looked it up and it's true.

Agutter moved into adult roles, beginning with Walkabout (1971), playing a teenaged schoolgirl lost with her younger brother in the Australian outback. She auditioned for the role in 1967, but funding problems delayed filming until 1969. The delay meant Agutter was 16 at the time of filming, which allowed the director to include nude scenes. Among them was a five-minute skinny-dipping scene, which was cut from the original US release. She said at the 2005 Bradford Film Festival at the National Media Museum that she was shocked by the film's explicitness, but remains on good terms with director Nicolas Roeg.

I think when you are responsible for the accidental killings your lead actor and two child actors via decapitation while filming a movie, your career is pretty much dead.

Yep, he did absolutely nothing after that. Just Trading Places. Absolutely nothing else though. Just Three Amigos. Absolutely nothing else though. His career was dead. Well, except for Spies Like Us. You’re right though, dead career. Couldn’t do anything. Well, except for Coming to America. Nothing else though. Good point.
