MISSING ‘LINK’
In the article on Elisabeth Shue (“Hot Faces,” by Craig Modderno, July 22), the actress stated that she refuses to “do nudity on camera or a ‘Porky’s’ type film to become a star.”
Shue must have forgotten her second feature film, last year’s briefly seen British thriller, “Link,” in which she appears in a brief nude scene standing completely disrobed before a chimpanzee. It’s incredible how Shue emphasized her high career morals and standards when she’s guilty of starring in a low-grade junky film with nudity that all her new-found “Adventures in Babysitting” fans can rush out and rent on video.
John Voland was also incorrect in writing of Daphne Zuniga’s “splashy debut in ‘The Sure Thing’ ” (“Hot Faces,” July 21). Zuniga would probably like to forget her film debut in 1982’s “Pranks,” followed by her other “lost” films, “The Dorm That Dripped Blood,” “The Initiation” and “Visionquest.”
