I loved her in movies like "Patriot Games (1992)", "Monkey Trouble (1994)" and "Ghost World (2001)".

According to IMDB she has a number of project coming up. Glad the "back listing" or whatever happened has been lifted. She is a fine actress!

Love Thora Birch! I just saw an older movie with her in it and wondered why she hasn't done more. I've never read anything about "back listing" (do you mean blacklisting?). What is the scoop on that?

Her father was her manager. He was very disruptive on the sets, interfering with the directors, etc. His interfering got her fired from a revival of "Dracula" on Broadway. She would not let him go and eventually word got around that she was too much trouble to bother with due to his constant BS. I can only imagine now she is under new management.

Thanks! That's too bad for her (and us). I always think of Clea Duvall and Thora Birch as kind of the same. I really liked them - thought they were interesting - but never saw enough of either of them. I guess they don't fit Hollywood's standards of a star.
