Young actress Dominique Swain
rose to relative notoriety in 1997 after being cast as pre-teen temptress Dolores
Haze in Adrian Lyne's 90's remake of Stanley Kubrick's 1962 film 'Lolita'. Swain
obtained the controversial part after minor roles in Joseph Ruben's 'The Good
Son' and unsuccessful castings for 'An Interview with the Vampire'. Swain was
picked from a reported 2500 girls. Director Adrian Lyne said he knew early on
that Swain was the one. Since the success of 'Lolita' and her brilliant portrayal
of Dolores Haze, Miss Dominique Swain has been busy working on various projects
and honing her acting skills by acting in a variety of screen genres. Her work
has received critical acclaim.
Soon
after completing 'Lolita,' Miss Swain was cast in her second major motion picture,
John Woo's action/thriller 'Face/Off'. She plays a small but demanding role as
the daughter of John Travolta and Joan Allen. Miss Swain's next role was not to
be another movie, but a starring role in a Music Video. She can be seen in the
1998 music video release, for Shawn Mullins's hit song 'Lullaby'. In 1999 Dominique
starred in a feature film release entitled 'Girl'. She plays the part of Andrea
Marr, a straight-A teen who explores the Portland rock scene.
