Okay, I've found numerous sources that say her age was upped to 14, and they used a 19 year old body double in some scenes. Dominique swaine was born in 1980, which would make her roughly 15/16 at the end of filming in 1996. |

I cannot find information yet as to when filming started, so she definitely could have been 13 at the time of filming however. |

I removed these on the theory that link collections add nothing to the article. We should probably add summaries (probably gathering information
from the links below) rather than just adding the links. What do others think? --Robert Merkel
- I agree - they never contain anything that won't end up here as a matter of course. --MichaelTinkler
- Somebody has added them back again. I'm going to remove them again, and add a comment suggesting that the person that added them back, if they really think they belong, should discuss it here first. --Robert Merkel
Internet Movie Database links for the films:
I deleted the following sentence from the article, as it is incorrect:
It should be noted that in the film versions the girl was aged to 15 rather than left at the more shocking 12.
The Kubrick film did age the character to 15, but the later version the girl was most definitely only portrayed as 12 or 13 (indeed, the actor playing Lolita was only 13 at the time of filming and great care had to be taken when filming to avoid the perception of the possibility of psychological harm to her). -- Robert Merkel
I'm not so good with telling age, but do I remember hearing that the later one upped her age as well. I'm searching for documentation of this before I unilarterally change anything.
