The emotional push and pull of teenage angst can in large part be attributed to the conflict caused by a young lady's awakening sexuality. No chronicler of budding womanhood has held that cusp of agony and ecstasy so exquisitely as Roxana Zal. With the direct, questioning stare of her large, dark eyes, the impertinent thrust of her fetchingly slight underbite, and the restless rumblings of fresh flesh sprouting beneath her sweater, Roxana specialized in playing the daughter on the verge of a nervous breakthrough. In such dramas of postpubescence as Adventures of Pollyanna (1982), Testament (1983), and Table for Five (1983), Zal shone as the girl who would one day grow up to show her tits on film.
