This actress' senior thesis was entitled The Initiation: From Innocence to Experience: The Pre-Adolescent/Adolescent Journey in the Films of Louis Malle, 'Pretty Baby' and 'Lacombe Lucien', which was at least partially based on first person research since she had starred as a prostitute in Pretty Baby when she was 11 years old. The thesis had to be good enough, because it earned her a degree in French Lit. from Princeton. In 1982, little girls could buy a doll based on this woman ... not because she starred in The Blue Lagoon, but because she was one of the most recognizable models on the planet. Identify this actress, a former girlfriend of Michael Jackson, who spent the late 1990s starring in the TV series Suddenly Susan.
