"The male gaze was part of that movie, which is a little odd considering it’s a female-geared story. I remember filming a beach scene when the guys were supposed to realize, 'Oh, hey, she looks great!' Production had given me these cutlets to put in my swimsuit to, like, help out the ‘situation,' but I thought, Oh, I don’t think anybody’s going to notice if I don’t wear these, so I just left them in the trailer," Cook told Glamour. "I went out and we shot half of the scene, and then, if I remember correctly, the director [Robert Iscove] asked me if the wardrobe had changed. The way he asked wasn’t offensive — he just knew that things looked different. Sure enough, they went and got the inserts from my trailer... I was 18 — a grown-up — but it was still like, 'OK, I see how it is.'"
