Ellen Page Hard Candy (2005)
If you haven’t gotten a chance to watch Hard Candy yet, do yourself a favor and go see that movie. It’s young Ellen Page’s acting abilities on full display. Ellen was just 18 when she filmed this movie. She stars opposite Patrick Wilson as a vigilante who decides to torture and punish a sexual predator.
This movie is all tension and no relief, and Ellen Page really shines in it.
Evan Rachel Wood Thirteen (2003)
Evan Rachel Wood grew up in the entertainment industry. Both of her parents were actors who ran a theatre company, so Evan has basically been acting since she learned how to talk.
At first, Evan was apprehensive about appearing in Thirteen, a movie with R-rated scenes and themes. Woods said that the script hit really close to home for her, and she admired the film’s honesty. She got to play an active role in the creation of the movie, which made the whole thing all the more authentic.
Frances McDormand Blood Simple (1984)
What did we do to deserve Frances McDormand? Seriously, we are not worthy. One of McDormand’s first movies was Blood Simple, and R-rated film directed by McDormand’s now-husband, Joel Coen of The Coen Brothers.
