There's no way you can compare a masterpiece like Taxi Driver to some pictures in Vanity Fair, myspace, whatever. It's apples and oranges.
Same with Pretty Baby, although I don't think Brooke's mom was as stable as Jodie's so who knows what went down on that set. I have to believe that Susan Sarandon would have kicked the ass of any skeezy dude who tried to mess w/ lil' Brooke though. 
These are films that have held up and that have stellar performances. I seriously doubt if anyone is going to even remember Miley Cyrus and her teenybopper pop and silly show 3 years from now, let alone 30 years from now.
Her parents & manager wanted to try and get a more grownup image for her, people saw the pics and freaked out, and now they're backpedalling, IMO. |
33girl...back in the day...Jodie Foster's appearance in that caused a bit of an uproar (as well as the subsequent gun scene) and didn't kill her career....this is what I am saying here...people getting bent out of shape over her pics.....geez...get a life...it's not like she is going to be the next Brittany Spears....
and for the one or 2 years that hannah Montana was a kid sensation...i don't think too many will likely forget that...if anything as her career goes forward...that would be her foundation.

Not the same thing. Foster and Shields were playing child prostitutes. Not playing on the sexual appeal of a child or putting themselves in truly suggestive positions.
But was Miley Cyrus was playing a role? Was she playing an informed role with parental guidance versus Vanity Fair taking advantage of a clueless 15 year old?
Lemme know.

Who knows what she's going to be and that's not the point.
Foster's appearance caused a stir back then but not for the exact same reason that Miley Cyrus' photos are causing a stir. It didn't kill Foster's career and it probably won't end Cyrus' career. I also don't care about Cyrus' career, there's a general point to be made.
