The Edge: Ashley Judd revisits problematic film role that launched her career

CHARLOTTE, N.C.- Nearly 30 years after the thriller “Kiss the Girls” became a hit, actress Ashley Judd is taking a hard look back at the film that helped launch her career. In a new Instagram video, Judd says her feelings about the movie have evolved, questioning why Hollywood turns stories about violence against women into entertainment. The 1997 film follows a serial killer who kidnaps women, with Judd playing a victim who escapes and helps catch him. Judd now says it centers on what she calls the “torture of women’s bodies.”
