Not very long after American Beauty, Thora Birch was publicly known to be dating legendary director Francis Ford Coppola. I cant find info on their ages, but i believe she was around 20 and he was in his 70s. Gross. There are plenty of pictures of the couple online

Ford Coppola brought her to the Emmys in 2003. People knew Birch's career was in trouble by 2003, and Francis is supportive of his own family (he has a daughter Birch's age who directs films). I stupidly thought he went with her as a mentor, trying to be a positive force in her life.

If Coppola was "dating" her, that's gross, and makes the following photos disturbing:

Yup. That's what I would have figured. Were we ever that innocent? Or was it we were being kept from knowing the truth? That's why they call it mind control.

I threw up in the back of my mouth when I saw the first photo of them together.

She never stood a chance, did she?

I know. It's the look they get when they have a Trophy Minor on their arm.
