I didn't believe for one moment that she could be Mason's sister. She looked of Hispanic descent, and both her parents in the film had blue eyes. Could they have even biologically produced her?
As an actress, I found her to be quite dull.
By the way, why don't the Texas kids have a twang or southern accent? They all sound like northerners to me.
Nepotism is one of numerous Hollywood vices that are generally given a free pass. She was all right, but here's betting many others would have been better.
My people skills are fine. It's my tolerance of morons that needs work.
I didn't realize until I read your post that that was Linkletter's daughter, but you're absolutely correct. She didn't look like she could be Mason sister is all
shareI grew up in Houston and I don't have a Texas Accent. Most of my friends don't either. It's much more prevalent in the rural areas.
shareThere was nothing wrong with her performance at all.
The night beckons, like a finger curling and uncurling as if to say "Hey, come here."
I don't care about her appearance. I can suspend my disbelief unless the SCRIPT gives me reason to doubt (and not what I know about her background, outside of the film).
She was good as a kid, less interesting as she grew up - but then, the same could be said of the boy, also.

I agree with you. This was one of the main things that annoyed me about this movie. Theres no way a Mexican can be two white people's child. Not believable and really bad casting in my opinion.
