the thora birch thread FOR JOSH

that exact same thing happened in my high school in 1993

wonder why they went with that ink splatter in the movie logo

It represents the shameful stain of unwed motherhood.

Or a typo.

that ink splatter is weird, it's not in a third dimension like the black blocks it's connected to are but flat with the rest of the page

better movie would be thora birch having a baby with camryn manheim

Thora Birch: how Hollywood's darling disappeared

that was an amazingly useless and pointless article.

she apparently has one of the more infamously creepy stage dads around, who has insisted on being on set with her well into adulthood, present even for sex scenes

In 1996, she landed a leading role in the adventure film, Alaska (1996). She played the role of Jessie Barnes, who has moved to Alaska with her father (played by Dirk Benedict) and brother after the death of her mother. Her father is a former airline pilot and upon moving to Alaska, he starts earning a living by delivering supplies to small towns in the Alaskan wilderness in his light aircraft. While making a delivery, his plane crashes into a mountainside. Concluding that not enough was being done to locate him, Jessie and her brother set out on a successful attempt to find him with the help of a baby polar bear.

omg saw this in class in fourth grade never realized it was thora

yeah that Guardian piece seemed designed to make her sympathetic but it can't hide a certain muted nastiness

She shows up for half a minute in The Last Black Man in San Francisco. Took me about 10 seconds, but I recognized her. What a weird film. I was so perplexed by the first 15 minutes that leaving crossed my mind (didn't help that I went in thinking I was seeing a documentary--no idea why), but I eventually got onto its wavelength a bit. Very nice non-ending.
