Born on the 4th of July (1989) as 'Jenny' The biography of Ron Kovic. Paralyzed in the Vietnam war, he becomes an anti-war and pro-human rights political activist after feeling betrayed by the country he fought for. This was one of her first 'real' parts. She's shooting pool in a bar and has a conversation and dances with a wheelchaired Tom Cruise. She's very cute and prominent in this one, it's unbelievable that she was uncredited! Holly had the stomach-flu when shooting her part. Tom gave her an antique broche because he felt sorry for her. She has worn this broche for years on her leather jacket before it got misplaced... Born on the Fourth of July won the 1989 Academy Award for best director. |
