Then she does a nude scene in the latest Potter movie.
Complain away, kid. The franchise made you a millionaire.
I don’t hear Summer Glau complaining how she had to look/act 16 in Firefly.
Clearly one of the sharpest and most level-headed young actors around today and from what I’ve read of her, she will be keeping it that way. She’s got a bright future without following the path to perdition trod by so many others.
I don’t perceive it as whining. She was probably asked about it, and answered honestly. Have you seen any publicity about her in the U.S. lately? She’s been at Brown University for over a year. If she were a publicity hog, I think we’d have seen lots more stories about her. Seems to me that she’s got a pretty good head on her shoulders.
In a recent interview she was asked which book she would want on a deserted island, if she could only have one.
“The Bible”.
“Harry Potter” may have been her salvation. Although, it also seems obvious that she had decent parenting. For an entire decade, covering her teenage years, she had to walk the straight and narrow in order to preserve the brand and keep her job.
Seeing as how easy it was to replace the late Richard Harris with rotating Dumbledore’s it must have been made clear to our young stars that they too, could be dispensed with if they broke the unspoken covenant and turned into Hollywood brats.
Now they’re all thought of as “serious” actors and I’m sure they want to keep it that way.
