That top right image looks familiar! I used it for the cover of my zine on Jack's First Thirty movies.

There were hoops even back then. She was precocious even earlier, Echoes of a Summer being the obvious one, but it's easy to think that, after Taxi Driver, films like The Little Girl Who Lived Down the Lane and Freaky Friday were tailor made for her, even though they were both based on books.
