Her first foray into film was in the highly controversial remake of Stanley Kubrick’s Lolita, where she played the role of the young temptress Dolores Haze. She may have received a notorious image at first because of her role, but this at the same time led her to more substantial roles which quickly recognized her acting prowess.

After completing Lolita, Dominique Swain immediately worked on her second movie, the action/thriller Face/Off, where she played the role of John Travolta’s daughter. It was not long after Face/Off when she starred in Shawn Mullins’s music video, Lullaby. The following year, Dominique Swain starred in the feature film Girl, about a straight-A teenager who sought to explore the Portland rock scene. In 2000, she starred as the under-appreciated intern at a hip magazine who faces the challenges of life, love and fashion in Intern. This was followed by Mary Jane’s Last Dance, Tart and Happy Campers.
