Quote of the Day
I have grown to love secrecy.
It seems to be the one thing that can make modern life mysterious or marvellous to us. The commonest thing is delightful if one only hides it. When I leave town now I never tell my people where I am going. If I did, I would lose all my pleasure. It is a silly habit, I dare say, but somehow it seems to bring a great deal of romance into one’s life.
~The Picture of Dorian Gray, Oscar Wilde

The Little Girl Who Lived Down the Lane
Don't Drink The Almond Tea heehee
Movie Trivia for 'The Little Girl Who Lived Down the Lane'':
- Jodie Foster was fourteen at the time of filming and refused to appear nude. Thus, her older sister, Connie Foster, was used as her double in the film's brief nude sequence.
- In interviews, Jodie Foster usually refrains from saying which of her films are her least favorites, but she has let it slip that this movie isn't one she is fond of, explaining, "When people are there to simply do a job they don't have any passion for, those are nearly always bad films."
- Scott Jacoby told Seventeen Magazine in 1977 that the hamster they used in the cigarette scene was already dead, but that the shot gave Jodie Foster the fits anyway. Foster went on record as saying one of the producers on this film was "nuts", explaining that he wanted her to show more skin and she refused. Foster had a terrible time with the sexual scene upstairs with Mario. Although her older sister did the shot, Foster was very upset that viewers would think this was her and fought and cried with the producers, to no avail.
I must have been around 12 when I was surfing the channels with my cousin and happened upon this delightfully wicked little film noir starring a young Jodie Foster back in 1976 called 'The Girl Who Lived Down the Lane'. Foster stars as the smart and independent 13 year old who proves that even little girls can have murderous tendencies. I also read the same titled novel by Laird Koenig back in my teens..I guess that's how much I enjoyed it.
*speaking of murderous little girls....I loved the movie from the image below too! Must have watched it at least a little less than a dozen times!
