“When I try to imagine my own daughter at 16, playing house, essentially living with a grown-ass man, doing tons of blow, popping Quaaludes, and going to Studio [54] — not to mention being lied to, cheated on, then gifted with various and sundry STDs and unwanted pregnancies, it makes me feel physically ill,” she said.

Was there no adult - mother or father - in her life? She was great in Ferris Bueller but that was a long long time ago.

Lots of 16-year-old wives in history.

It maybe, over all of human history, many more women were married by 16 than later.

I was told the average age for first birth in Honduras is 15.

I am not saying it is preferable, just that it was, and in many places in the world (such as most Islamic countries) still is common.

She does claim that it was her mother who persuaded her to get the nose job she didn't need...and should not have gotten. She was much prettier before that.

I understood her saying “...essentially living with a grown-ass man...”, was describing her father.

Her father Joel Grey was married to her mother when she was conceived, but he is a gay man and was on the downlow for those years. Who only knows what kind of childhood she had.

She says she wouldn't have had the kind of career she has had without the abortion, and that is a sad statement, given her small C- and D-list output. Had she been happy and fulfilled, she may have done much more.
