A 5'1, petite woman with tiny feet and the face and body of a child.Considering he's a foot fetish creep and pedo he hit the total jack pot with her!
I wonder if he tapped that little Latina.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
I am hater. You got me in one.
She's Italian.
shareHe named her character 'Kat Valentine'. Kitten Love. That's something a 6th grader names the character based off their crush when they're writing fanfiction. Disgusting stuff.
shareDid you rub yourself while typing this?
shareYou folks are jumping to all kinds of conclusions about Dan Schneider. First of all, it doesn't take any evil mastermind genius to understand that feet sell. He listened to the market and made them all kick off their shoes. Feet help young kids in the audience understand their humanity, for god's sake. Nothing more than you'd see at the beach. He didn't sexualize them like Quentin Tarantino does in his adult flicks. If a young foot fetishist sees it and gets excited for the first time, it's only telling them about themselves while the actors are just doing normal kid stuff with no downside. Certain individuals might find this unsavory, but nothing but a network apology is required years later. It was still fine programming.
Reportedly Schneider was a hard-edged, drill sergeant-type instructor laying down the law and keeping the cameras rolling. This, also, is not in keeping with your pedophile accusations. He didn't act like Michael Jackson. He behaved like David O'Selznick, stereotypical producer. Hard facade to make for someone who really likes to diddle kids... a pedophile would be a basket case working in this scenario.
Kids do need discipline, and Schneider provided it and brought out the best in them. I'm not sure if Ariana Grande, for example, would even be CAPABLE of her current accomplishments without her Nickelodeon (which I love, btw) upbringing. Perhaps McCurdy would be in an insane asylum with her borderline personality disorder, instead of a best-selling author complaining about... who? Oh, yeah. Her mother and Dan Schneider, her unrecognized savior.
If you have a problem with Sam & Cat, iCarly and Victorious, then perhaps America was blessed that Schneider was in that chair instead of you. What would your grand ideas be? Kids drooling on their bibles between commercials for the 700 Club? Nah, you suck.
The dude's alright.
