I love how chill everyone used to be back then. With their hair and make up and clothes and attitude... Just normal looking people, not overly done flawless dolls with no personality.
After watching this interview, I don't think she just portrayed Lolita but I think she actually IS Lolita. Look at the way she talks, she walks, she speaks and the way her eyes shine. She's twenty two and she acts like a so much younger person. She's really the daisy-fresh girl Lolita was.
The director said she was the least nervous actor he'd ever worked with. She was selected from (from memory) a couple of thousand girls, and had never acted in her life - not even at school. Remarkable.
I'll always be annoyed she didn't become bigger. She mostly played the same 'nymphet' characters in low budget 2000s movies. She's a good actress and seems like a really in the moment genuine person, not as fake as a lot of celebs.
@@toecheese774 it's not a love story. the book is in humbert's point of view, he viewed anything lolita did to be flirtatious and he's an unreliable narrator who uses language to manipulate the readers to sympathize or emphathize with him. 12 yr old girls can have crushed on older men, thats why so many girls had celebrity crushes, but that doesnt make it okay for the older men to encourage it or pursue the younger girls. humbert raped, kidnapped, drugged, manipulated and controlled other young girls before lolita and herself.
this is just my opinion so don't anyone get their undies and a twist if it was my daughter wouldn't be allowed her to play in a movie like that having those kinds of scenes whether it was her and some of them are not still very very provocative for young girl to be dealing with an older man and of course our parents are okay with it because they saw dollar signs.
@@carolsanders3979 i agree but also i think films like that are important for people to see bc it’s still a big problem but if they were younger than 17-18 i wouldn’t allow for movies like that
Although she was perfect for the role .. I don’t understand as a parent how her mom just was ok with it all . I mean it’s a beautiful story but also so hard to watch .. she kisses him more than once she was 14 & he was 40.
Absolutely love Dominique💕 she has such a cute and unique personality that just makes you smile😩 too bad so many people are comparing her now to when she was in Lolita. I mean, she’s 40 now!! But she is still just as gorgeous as she was when she was 15❤️ and she was amazing in her roles other than Lolita, such as Girl, Tart, Happy Campers, and Face/Off. Although she is known for her role as Dolores, she acted just as well in lots of other films too. If only people watched those films too🥺
she seems to be very nice and funny , and is one of the best actresses in the world , considering that lolita was her first ever acting experience and she was amazing in it
This gives me the creeps... When they're talking about her as a young teen it seems like he's sexualizing her, and by the way she's reacting, seems like she's used to it and has been from a very young age. Hollywood is disgusting..
When being filmed they had someone on set and her mother to make sure at no time the male actors groin came into contact with her in any erotic scene etc.
I am totally with you, but I also understand people's sentiments about missing the younger version of Swain. She was irresistible as a young girl. She lost that innocence, and I think that's what people miss. However, she's not old and ugly.
@@rosiehatts9163 She was really irresistible already in Lolita. 80% of men will tell you that. At the time of filming, she was 15. At this time, girls are already attractive to most men. She was no longer a child.
I didn’t realise she was 15 at the time of filming of Lolita, I can’t believe this film got made, I’m sure she was kept safe. Still creepy, I can’t believe she didn’t become a main stream star.
she jumped in his arms as a reference to one of the most iconic scenes in lolita! i cant believe he didnt catch that
i dont think so. and he probably didnt watch it
I think he caught her very well.
Probably rehearsed, though.
poor girl traumas from early rolles still poping up hahah lol, i think he did catch it and was embarased.. she is adult now after all.
Dodir Anđela - Intuitivno Otvaranje I doubt she was very traumatized. The film is basically comedic satire.
Sydney Schnarr - why would he participate in duplicating a scene in a movie about sexual child abuse? Like fuck that.. that shit is for sickos..
I love how chill everyone used to be back then. With their hair and make up and clothes and attitude... Just normal looking people, not overly done flawless dolls with no personality.
zuckerkane I was thinking the same. Their looks were so much natural than nowadays.
exactly
And she was an LA native! Dude!
People will always idealize the past
Oliver Anderson With a reason
She was going for barbie doll commercials and ended up in a movie like lolita but made it a movie never to be forgotten . Ironical
Iconic

No, ironic

Marianna Koukoutsakis Lolita is a fictional charakter who nabokov made up so no she is not lolita.
ruth lusijah u definitely didnt get the point. She didnt mean the character bt her actual persona
She said once in an interview that she played the character Lolita as herself. She said they were so much alike.
The director said about as much. He said, "she's pretty much playing herself"
Marianna Koukoutsakis you are absolutely correct.
Yes Dom is really similar to Lo, and that's why she was perfect for her.
She deserved a career extending past the 90’s and 2000’s, she’s really talented and beautiful and has an appealing personality.
I liked her in alpha dog 2006
She's loud and annoying
@@roasty80 she’s your mirror.
So underrated.
she's so similar to Lolita
I think he/she meant that he attitude and the way she talks is so similar.
The director said she was the least nervous actor he'd ever worked with. She was selected from (from memory) a couple of thousand girls, and had never acted in her life - not even at school. Remarkable.
When she says "I was born" you can totally see the little lolita in her facial expression
Wha time
4:02 and omgg so trueee haha
an absolute masterpiece of acting.
Jamesy14 Wood that was little too far in Dramatical way.....couldve don some justice to the Story though!!!
i just watched it today!!!
She is still very pretty. She's very hyper too lol. I'm glad she went back to a redhead. Blonde does not suit her at all.
I think she's still blonde, this interview was 12 years ago...
As im typing this comment, shes 37. When you made your comment she was 33. This interview was in 2002.. when she was like 22?
this was 2002
Yes!!! I love her red hair!!! I agree, it suits her more than blonde.
I think she’s naturally brunette if you see in the casting videos
I'll always be annoyed she didn't become bigger. She mostly played the same 'nymphet' characters in low budget 2000s movies. She's a good actress and seems like a really in the moment genuine person, not as fake as a lot of celebs.
Where is she now?
I think she's still doing movies, but she isn't well known at all.@Anonymous-wi6ig
shes so much like dolores
Yes, but her name is Lolita
CE Bru her full name is Dolores
She is so ***king adorable!
I really like her.... she seems so lively and energetic... not to mention very cute....

She is flirty.. just like Lolita.
Lolita was NOT flirty. It was from Humberts pov so it sounded flirty.
I didnt felt she was being flirty at all

@@toecheese774 actually the book was from humbert perspective, even nakobov feel disgust at him too after write the book
She wasn’t flirty at all she was being a child
The way she entered.. OMG
Iconic.
I wanna know what her parents thought when they found out what the movie was about and saw all those scenes
They already knew, her parents even were on set when the "sex" scenes involved were filmed
Kate Crossley what about the kissing? That was definitely her
this is just my opinion so don't anyone get their undies and a twist if it was my daughter wouldn't be allowed her to play in a movie like that having those kinds of scenes whether it was her and some of them are not still very very provocative for young girl to be dealing with an older man and of course our parents are okay with it because they saw dollar signs.

Just saw the 1997 version of “Lolita” for the first time. Dominique Swain was brilliant, every bit as good as Sue Lyon was.
She was 17 when the movie went out, it's when they did the scenes that she was 15-16 I think
Nope she was 15
Gross

Just so lovely!!! Love her bubbly innocent energy!💖👏👏👏👏👏
She was the "it girl" along with Chloe Sevigny
Francesco Bonfiglio what do you mean by “it girl”?
Maybe of independent films..not mainstream.
Loved them both, and Kirsten Dunst!
She's wonderful! Love her
She is a beauty grown up.
She reading books like that at 12? How old was she when she did the interview, and started filming?
Think-A-Bell Bell I believe she was around 14 at the filming of the movie but she was close to 18 at the release
Think she was 16 or 17 when filming
Johanna Mogaard No she was 14 during filming. That's what she says in her interview.
I read Lolita at 16.
Google Says 15
I thought she was absolutely brilliant in Lolita. What a difficult novel to adapt, given the subject matter. Jeremy Irons was great, too.
Poor woman. She deserved more respect, she is so vulnerable, like Marilyn Monroe. They exploited her
This is very true 😔
dominique is my perfect little babyyyyyyyy
why can't i be her
Jane Hruska because you aren't
Sorry Jane, 5 years later for some reason people have become twats. :3
@@yourlovelynightmare1 another 5 years later, and we're still twats!!!! :3
Man I love her, one of my favourite actresses.
She doesn’t know what henna means. It’s a name of the plant which is used as a natural dye for the hair.
Did she use it for her hair?
U gay
during bts of lolita , she said herself that delores (lolita) and her actual self are very similar personality wise
omg she just pulled the Lolita moment on him, when she jumped in his arms 😳
yes lol he didnt catch that smh
Damn...and I thought I was fidgety.
0:11
The hosts face after she jumped at him was like "What the hell was that?" *Lol* 😂💀
Does anybody else thinks she favors Kristen Dust from Spider man alot! Or is it just me...
Or alicia silverston
Anyone uncomfortable that she jumped on this older man like... uh
It made me laugh.
Night Rose it's really not that big of a deal
Kiana Megan idk just if someone did that today ppl would flip, just an observation
Night Rose True.
Night Rose Yes and the movie Lolita must have tramatized her cause she can't keep a decent relationship going with any man.
She is so natural , i love her!
She was so adorable
She’s so cute lmao
I completely agree and was thinking that the whole time watching the interview!
At 14? Isn't that pretty young?
When being filmed they had someone on set and her mother to make sure at no time the male actors groin came into contact with her in any erotic scene etc.
@@geoffJG1 from where did u get this information?
Buyer Patch/Plain Dirty one of my favorite movies. She was fabulous in it.Southern gothic at it's best.
She is so beautiful ❤️ her hair is gorgeous
I saw that film many times, although the story is a little sick!
Lots of stories and movies are. Thats pretty much the point. To enhance and present edginess.
@Galadriel79, Lolita made in '95, but premiere in '97.
this was posted 13 YEARS AGO jheeez
beautiful..
She’s beautiful
SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL 🌹
They used her up and threw her away
Ohhh omg so this is her!!! 🤯😟🥺🥺🥺😍😍
the story of lolita was tragic, but when he went to see the house, & she was laying on the grass with the sprinklers on...Dang!
Para su época esta entrevista es muy respetuosa que lindoooooo
she's so cute and hyper
I always thought Craig Kilborn was so handsome! I adore Dominique Swain!
@Pr3ttyL0v3 She looks like someone who smokes and drinks too much
But she's still very pretty
she's really cool from her teenage 😍
Wow too me she looked her prettiest and most pure at age 14 most children get the looks at 18 19
