Grown-up Lolita showed her body

At the sweet age of 15, when other girls were getting their braces tightened or dressing up as Spice Girls, Dominique Swain was "sitting" on Jeremy Iron's lap, portraying Nabokov's infamous nymphet in HBO's "Lolita." For her efforts, she was nominated for the Most Promising Actress award by the Chicago Film Critics Association, and both she and Jeremy garnered an MTV "Best Kiss" nomination. There's nothing like a little intergenerational hoopla to get folks going.

Right around then Dominique also starred as John Travolta's daughter in the megahit "Face/Off." That is until he gets his mug replaced and she becomes Nicolas Cage's kid. You have to see it to understand.
