Okay, I've found numerous sources that say her age was upped to 14, and they used a 19 year old body double in some scenes. Dominique swaine was born in 1980, which would make her roughly 15/16 at the end of filming in 1996. Every source I have found on the 'net for how old she was at filming was 15, though Steven Schiff the screenwriter admits they picked dominique because she could pass for 12-13. |
Internet Movie Database links for the films:
The Kubrick film did age the character to 15, but the later version the girl was most definitely only portrayed as 12 or 13 (indeed, the actor playing Lolita was only 13 at the time of filming and great care had to be taken when filming to avoid the perception of the possibility of psychological harm to her). -- Robert Merkel
