Millie Perkins and Mary Stuart Masterson


Now, there is a lot of eyeliner in this movie (as another thread points out), and maybe it's strictly due to the eyeliner, but am I the only one who thought Millie Perkins and Mary Stuart Masterson looked a lot alike in At Close Range?

I'm sure it wasn't accidental, as there are meant to be parallels drawn between the "adult" gang and the "kiddie" gang (the one really stupid member who endangers things for the rest of them, for example), and I'm of the mind that we're meant to see the difference between Brads Jr. and Sr. (one is good at heart, despite his environs, and the other is just, naturally, a psychopath), and one way to do that is to show how each had a chance at having the love of a good woman in their lives. It has a different affect on each of them, and the fact that Brad Jr. doesn't take Terri with a grain of salt really angers Brad Sr.
