10. The Walking Felony

Twelve-year-old Jodie Foster, who was thrust into stardom after the role, was not the first choice for the part of an underaged prostitute, Iris, forced to walk the streets by her pimp, played by Harvey Keitel. Before Foster got the part, Scorsese wanted to hire Melanie Griffith, Linda Blair, Bo Derek, Carrie Fisher, and Mariel Hemingway. Foster has said, “Part of the deal was that any scenes that felt uncomfortable sexually, they would have an adult be a stand-in. So my sister Connie, who was over 18, stood in for a couple of over-the-shoulder shots.”
