In this lesbian-leaning female bonding film from female director Annette Haywood-Carter – and based on Joyce Carol Oates’ novel, then-unknown Angelina Jolie starred as tough, wild, and rebellious Margret ‘Legs’ Sadovsky who helped four other fairly like-minded teenaged girls (shy Rita (Jenny Lewis), girl-next-door Maddy (Hedy Burress), sexually-promiscuous Violet (Sarah Rosenberg), and pot-head druggie Goldie (Jenny Shimizu)) to overcome the sexual oppression and harrassment of their peers and a biology teacher at their Portland, Oregon high school. In one semi-exploitative erotic scene, the girls received a trademark flame tattoo emblazoned on their breasts by needle-wielding Legs.
