My friend way back in the day went to senior prom with his high school girlfriend. He was 25 at the time. She was 18 but barely.
We had a lot of 20+ men at my Sr. prom in 1979. Pretty much every one of my friends was dating someone in their 20s and lots of us married them. We all left the prom and went to The Circle in the Square in Shreve Square and danced the night away. Some were barely 18. Some of us weren't legal yet. Drinking age was 18 then.

I will probably watch Demi's new doc, Child Star. It's her directorial debut. It's no surprise they all struggle as adults. No one protected them. They still don't. It's the rare child or teen star who has parents are protective and don't see their kid as the gravy train for the whole family. No matter how you feel about Taylor Swift, she had protective parents and as she got older she learned to drive her own narrative. It's very rare.

"Once upon a time in America" co-starred fourteen year old Jennifer Conley with Robert DeNiro.
One particular scene was very unsettling.
They used a body double.. Margharita Pace was the body double used in that scene.

my wife makes me watch these current movies she's making (hallmark romance-ish) and it makes me kinda sad because she is OLD and that reminds me so am I
Ditto.
Had a friend who once said, "You just don't want to see your crush get old."
I just said, "Dude, seeing them be old reminds ME that I'm old."
I think some folks don't get that when you're looking at yourself it's a gradual thing, but then seeing that crush that you have a specific mental image of looking older just means you do too.

Teenagers put into suggestive scenarios with older sexual partners. It was an early 80’s theme done over and over.
While they don't go that far with it, the uncomfortable theme is also present in The Professional with a then 13-year old Natalie Portman. It gets even weirder when read this tidbit about the movie:
quote:
The film has been critically re-examined in the wake of the "#MeToo" movement (French: #BalanceTonPorc or "expose your pig") after sexual assault allegations were levied against Luc Besson in 2018.[23][24] Maïwenn, Luc Besson's sixteen year old wife at the time of filming, says the film was inspired by their relationship. She says "When Luc Besson did Léon, the story of a 13-year-old girl in love with an older man, it was very inspired by us"; Besson met Maïwenn when she was 12 and he was 29, and he officially started dating her when she was 15, the legal age of consent in that country. Besson married her at age 33 when she fell pregnant at 16.[25] At the time of the accusations, Natalie Portman discussed her "complicated feelings" about the film and her associated Lolita-like sexualization as a child

An awful lot of indignation while reviewing a film you have never seen? I saw some of it decades ago and found it too boring to watch. The parental guide is more titillating than the film, if you get off on the words "naked", "breast and nipple", "bare buttocks", and "implied sex". Shields had no breasts, and the same as little boy nipples, and you have never been a parent if you haven't seen a butt. Louis Malle was a French director, and nudity of even young actors was not such a big taboo in other countries as in Puritan USA. Nudity is not porn - my ex-wife posted a nude photo of her granddaughter on her Facebook page without it causing a stir.
Well, that's certainly a take

That’s my exact remembrance of seeing it back in the day. Boring and kinda depressing. I wasn’t in the least bit titillated or excited about watching Brooke, didn’t even think about her. Now, a young Susan Sarandon topless, that’s what the buzz was around my 16 year old friends.

I always remember it being controversial.
I was watching Once Upon a Time in America a few years ago and a young Jennifer Connelly had a little risque scene that threw me off guard.

Way back when I first saw Leon, a.k.a. the professional, I certainly saw things might go sideways, but then I don’t recall it ever really going there. Sure she was young precocious, little teenager, girl, but the character of Leon was so preoccupied. He never really paid that much attention. At least that’s how I saw it.

Yeah, all those kids were street kids who grew up fast and sex was on their minds at a young age.
I got a kick out of the kid that bought the whip cream covered pastry with a cherry on top to bring to the neighborhood slut for sexual favors and while waiting for her to finish her bath, he sat down and ate the damn thing on the steps outside her door.
