How could you do that to me?

I now have to deliberately search out pictures of young Phoebe as a cleansing ritual.

The director claimed it was almost all Phoebe Cates.

Brooke Shields had a body double for The Blue Lagoon... but she was even younger.


Yeah well Brooke was 14 in Blue Lagoon so that would've been super illegal.

They used body doubles for most of it.

Most of the nude scenes in Paradise were Phoebe; the sex scenes were a body-double.

I guess that's how Hollywood got around it. Calling them natural swimming and bathing scenes and that she was almost 18. I think nobody cared in Hollywood because they're weirdos and also got away with Brooke Shield's being 12 years old in Pretty Baby.

Apparently it's not illegal in movies unless it's a sex scene. That's why Blue Lagoon went with the body double for the sex scenes and Paradise was able to show Phoebe bathing nude.

One of the bigger crimes against humanity is when JC chose to have her breast reduction.

I get it. They were very large on her frame. Fine. But she went way overboard. Reduce them by 1/2 and she's still a bombshell.

Career Opportunities and The Rocketeer... she was absolute smoke.

I still have the movie poster from Career Opportunities with a large blown up picture of my own face pasted over Frank Whaley's face. I had it BAD for Jennifer Connelly when I was kid.

Think some of this goes with aging. Collagen production in the face slows/stops giving them that sunken-cheeks look.

Plus, they can't get away with any bit of cheating in their diet with the drop in metabolism.


Jolie had her breasts and womb removed too out of fear of cancer because of her genetics.

Jennifer Connelly in The Rocketeer is one of the most perfect things ever put on screen.

It's better than Ava Gardner and maybe better than Kate Beckinsale playing Ava Gardner in The Aviator.
