Often, in discussions about old movies, someone will say, “That movie couldn’t be made today.”, and inevitably someone else will disagree.

Also, imagine the casting process.
“We’re looking for a teenage girl who’s, like, really hot and willing to play a sexual role.”
Jodie Foster and Kelly Preston, both 18 at the time, auditioned but they said “Nah, we’ll go with an underage actress instead. But then we’ll need a body double, so who among these applicants looks like a teenager in the nude the most?”
Oh no, Brooke Shields’s parents, specifically her mom, pimped her out relentlessly. She was peddled around NY and LA as jailbait. There’s some magazine cover that says something like “is it pedophilia or is it art?” Peddling straight up CP of pics of Brooke naked and like 14. It was specifically a national Brooke Shields creepiness.
