Kirsten Dunst also began her acting career quite young. You probably remember a young Kirsten Dunst acting opposite Robin Williams in the original Jumanji movie. Dunst has grown up a lot since then, and she’s acted in many R-rated movies.

The first time she acted in an R-rated film, however, was in 1990 when she played Tom Hanks’ daughter in The Bonfire of the Vanities. The movie was based on Tom Wolfe’s novel of the same name.

It’s no secret that Zac Efron started his career on the Disney Channel. We first encountered him when he played Troy Bolton in High School Musical. We had no idea back then that this guy was going to become a serious actor.

In 2012, he appeared in The Paperboy, an R-rated movie about a paperboy (obviously) who falls in love with an older woman (played by Nicole Kidman). Since then, Efron has played Ted Bundy, so it’s safe to say that he’s transitioned into R-rated territory.

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 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.

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

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.

I think Frances McDormand is one of the major reasons why The Coen Brothers were and are so successful. McDormand would go on to star in Fargo, one of the greatest movies ever made, and to win several acting awards.
