The Reptile, in which the RADA and Lee Strasberg-trained Jacqueline Pearce plays the "monster" and also manages to evoke sympathy.

Jackie Coogan was cool, did his family ever hold copyright to his work when he was a child actor?
He sued his parents for squandering his earnings. The "Coogan Law" was created because of it.

I, uh, assume this is from a movie and not a real-life public appearance?
You didn't watch the TV tropes Youtube clip?

This video seems to imply that PG-13 was created solely as an interim category to house violent movies that still have mild or no sexual content. I don't know it that was the original intent of the MPAA, but it certainly seems to be for all practical purposes what it's become. Because violence will never cause a movie to get an R rating, but the tiniest bit of sexual content will, in a country that really doesn't give any crap at all about violence but is very, very uptight still in 2018 about sex.
Some trivia, the original cut of "Smokey of The Bandit" tried to sneak the F word in a couple of times with the PG rating. The censors said NO WAY! I use headphones and can actually HEAR the edits. Background noise is different.
This is one edited scene...
What the hell you know.
The other scene with the state trooper is bleeped out with a truck horn. Didn't do a bit of good if one's a lip reader.

Not actors but what the heck.
"Larry King - Barely Live"
Just remembered, Geraldine Chaplin in "Heidi" (2005) looks a lot like Ruth Ginsberg.

I've been waiting for someone else to say this thread was tasteless, but nobody is, so I guess I'll jump into the deep end of the pool. Even in 1978, if you reversed the gender of the participants, it would be considered r a p e or assault, but after 40 more years of social progress, Nipkow (who at least had the decency to use the words "mentally challenged"!) makes it seem like female seducing mentally challenged male something worth cheering on ("and it was the girl's idea").
Theoretically, the law shouldn't agree, though there's still a double standard. The previous poster mentioned South Park, so I'll add this whole thread makes me think of the SP episode where Kyle's brother is sleeping with his kindergarten teacher. When the police or any other male adult on the show first hears about a teacher sleeping with a student, their first reaction is "Let's go nail the sick b a s t a r d!", but as soon as they learn it's female teacher and a male student, they all get a dreamy, faraway look in their eyes, nod approvingly and say "Nice!" Some of the same hypocrisy seems to apply here.
That is "Miss Teacher Bangs a Boy" , don't know what more a riot. Ike's underwater adventure or the police department's reaction.
We need to track this boy down and give him the luckiest boy in America Award right away.
Only Trey Parker and Matt Stone can do this and not create a riot.

As an Italian, I find this movie offensive, because a) I've never met anyone named Nunzio, and b) the guy playing Nunzio is not even Italian.

Has no influence what so ever, if I like it who cares what they think.
Plot of drilling on an asteroid is a bit silly but the characters made up for it.

Yep.

I don't know, ham. It takes a great actor to pull of that kind of comedy.
I'm with the OP in just loving Jackie Coogan. I've always been impressed with any role I've ever seen him in-and that's JUST NOT ENOUGH! Like so many others, there just aren't enough movies with Coogan available these days. I'm sure he was a busy guy throughout his career-where ARE those movies?
Burt Reynolds (1936-2018)

That makes 2 of us, very stunned at his passing. Posters will be mostly listing movies he starred in, like to add he was the voice of Charlie in "All Dogs Go To Heaven" (1989). One of the few times he sang. Hopefully Burt is there. RIP
