| Lucky Girl (2001) (TV) | aka My Daughter's Secret Life. Elisha Cuthbert "smokes a couple of times during the film. Usually while playing poker. A couple of good exhales but nothing spectacular." "A couple good dragging closeups, couple quick nice holding shots. Definite real inhales. Her first smoking scene is taking boyfriend's cig, she takes a single drag with real inhale then boyfriend takes the cig back. Then blackjack table closeup shots. After the last blackjack scene there's one nice uncut shot, as she approaches a slot machine, showing her right side - drag, inhale, exhale. A few dangle shots as she scoops her winnings from that slot machine. BUT slow motion on the face closeups reveals she can't find her mouth with the cigarette! In the first close-up drag, she hits her bottom lip with the filter tip end before getting the cig in her mouth properly to drag; the next face closeup shows her hitting her top lip. Only-a-few-frames-quick, and confirmable only in slow motion. I've not seen this before on film--longtime IRLs don't do that, but she does real inhales and exhales. ??? Maybe she 'learned to smoke for this film'"
