Blue Lagoon question?

OK. I just watched blue lagoon, and I was wondering. Some people said the girl who played Em was only 13-14? And I was wondering if that was true?

Because wouldn't that be like child pornography or something idk....

And I know at the end the man said they were asleep. But how did the berries send them to sleep? I thought they died :S

    She was 14 at the time (the filming completed in 1979 and she was born in 1965. Post-production and marketing had the film released in 1980). How is it child pornography when they never showed her nude? All of her nude shots were done by a body double. The berries were toxic but they hadn't eaten enough of them to kill them.

    edit: Brooke did do some nude scenes two years earlier in "Pretty Baby", though, and had some nude pictures done by a well know photographer just prior to its filming.
