Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
This article examines the sexualization of minors in film, using Nastassja Kinski's recent reflections on her role in "Tatort: Reifezeugnis" (1977) as a starting point. It discusses how underage actors like Jodie Foster (Taxi Driver), Brooke Shields (Pretty Baby), and others were placed in sexually charged roles, often with body doubles or other workarounds. The piece explores the long-term psychological impact on these actors, the role of parents and agents, changing societal norms, and how the film industry has historically exploited minors for artistic or commercial purposes. It also touches on the broader cultural context of the 1970s and the ongoing reckoning with these practices.
