Teen Actress Goes Through Puberty Over Course of Disney Movie

Budding Breasts Flower, Hips Softly Curve, Warm Glow of Womanhood Appears During 2-Hour Film

Hollywood—Teen actress Lily Dowd can literally be seen going through puberty during the new Disney film Mystery at Snowberry Ridge. Dowd, who turned 14 during the six-month shoot in the Vancouver area, transformed from a chubby tomboy with pigtails and freckles into a teen sexpot while on location. From scene to scene she gains four inches in height, grows from an A cup to a C cup, and develops high sexy cheekbones and lustrous auburn hair in an effect similar to stop-motion animation. “Wardrobe had a hell of time,” says director Joel Odell, “She plays a kid detective in overalls, but by the end of the movie she was busting out of her Osh Kosh B’Gosh. I’m afraid I might be charged for kiddie porn when this thing is released.”
A scene where Dowd hangs upside down on monkey bars and one where she eats a lolly-pop had to be deleted from the film because of their suggestive nature. The final cut of the film includes a disturbing kiss with boyish 12-year old costar Angus T. Jones. “I’ve played spin the bottle before,” says Jones, “But kissing her full womanly lips made me feel funny. She’s softer than other girls.” Dowd, who finished filming more than a year ago, has already been married and divorced twice and has gone through rehab once.
