The Possibilities Theatre presents “Free Space,” a play by Tara Meddaugh, via Zoom and a special live performance (weather permitting) in its final weekend October 29th-31st, 2020. But Dominique Swain was a quick study, and filming Lolita was, in any case, an endeavor uniquely geared to hastening a young girl’s growing up and to dismantling a grown man’s defenses. In 1995, at the age of 14, she was chosen out of 2,500 girls to play the title role in Adrian Lyne's controversial 1997 screen adaptation of Lolita, as Dolores "Lolita" Haze. I can give them what I have as an actor, but if you can figure out what I’m capable of, it does inspire confidence and risk taking. She was 15 during filming and her performance was praised by critics. Dominique Ariane Swain (born August 12, 1980) is an American actress.
Swain: I revere the novel, I’ve read it six times. Young though she was, she was a bit too sophisticated for Nabokov's child-woman-nymphet. Some directors think it’s not their job to influence the actors at all, and I think that’s completely dumb. Providing the Exclusive Portrait is photographer Joe Arce. Interviews: Back to ‘Twin Peaks’ with Sheryl Lee, Sherilyn Fenn? She starred in the 1998 drama film Girl, in which she plays a high-schooler who is determined to lose her virginity. I didn’t realize how grateful I was until I started working more, especially in television, where they want you to express it precisely, exactly the same every time. Not only were the filmmakers for this new imagining of the novel fighting the censorship, but they were also competing against the version directed by Stanley Kubrick in 1962, who worked off a script from the original author and turned the May-December creepiness into broad satire.
CHICAGO – Fact or fiction is a current debate in news programming, especially as people naturally digest “the news” that makes them comfortable. Nick Cassavetes is amazing as a director [Alpha Dog, 2006], he saw different people’s strengths and catered to them completely. Only 14 years old when the filming began, she took on one of the most notorious title roles ever created. The news articles, Tweets, and blog posts do not represent IMDb's opinions nor can we guarantee that the reporting therein is completely factual. She has had a steady career since that film, following up in 1997 portraying John Travolta’s daughter in the unique action film “Face/Off.” Other notable roles were in the independent favorite “Pumpkin” (2002) and the Nick Cassevetes-directed crime drama, “Alpha Dog” (2006).
Then I realized she was talking about herself.
