I just rewatched the film Eyes Wide Shut after not having seen it since its 1999 theatrical release.
I've been reading all these years that director Kubrick's vision was to expose Pedogate and Ritual Satanic Abuse, pretty much.
For the moment, I just wanted to say I just looked into whatever happened to actress LeeLee Sobieski, who was 14 at the time of filming.
I read this article:
https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/why-rising-90s-star-leelee-sobieski-bowed-out-of-hollywood/news-story/ed449ce646e0bd6091886d28844fbb0a
In it, she STRONGLY hints at being sexually abused as a child in Hollywood, or at the least being sexually harassed as well as inappropriately being sexualized as a child. She makes it pretty clear that this is why she left Hollywood.

Well her parents sound like assholes.
”She struggled with seeming older than her age, and with others—including her own parents—being happy for her to be ‘all grown up’ while she was still very much a teenager. 'My mother will let me wear a miniskirt and a blouse with my nipples showing,' she told the New York Times when she was 16. 'And once there was this black dress that had the sides cut out, and my father said in his accent, 'Zat lukes gret, rilly sexy.' And I had to say, 'No, it's too sophisticated for me.’ “

That's great context, thanks. I'll always remember what certain H/wood actors said: "Have you ever met the parents of a child actor? They're crazy." - usually the mother, and almost by stereotype, always wanting to profit off and live through their child's prominence vicariously.
Anyway, this original interview is great. Thanks a lot, Anon.

Welcome Otto! So many examples of this.
Any parent thinking of putting their kid through Pedowood should be directly here first, SMDH.
