Bonita Granville on going to the movies

Bonita Granville was a minor star from the golden age of Hollywood. She is probably best remembered for the four Nancy Drew movies in which she played the title role in 1938 and 1939. 

According to the IMDb website, she made this statement in 1972: "I don't go to the movies. They're indecent. They appeal to the baser tendencies, to temptations. Young people aren't able to cope with them, all this sex starting too early. It's thrown at them under the guise of art. But it's really immoral, amoral stuff , made just for the money."

Wouldn't it be something if someone in Hollywood had that attitude today?
