What Ever Happened To Thora Birch?

Publish date: 2024-05-08

As the new century rolled into its second decade, Jack's bad behavior reportedly continued, causing his daughter to get fired from not one, but two high-profile projects. The first instance came at the end of 2010, when Thora was unceremoniously fired from an Off Broadway revival of Dracula. According to The New York Times, the decision to terminate the actress came after her father allegedly threatened an actor who was instructed to rub Thora's back during an emotional scene. "Listen, man, I'm trying to make this easier on you—don't touch her," Jack said, according to the play's director, Paul Alexander. Thora denied her father's alleged wrongdoing and was reportedly "blindsided" by the firing. "I'm totally in a state of shock over this, I still can't believe it," she said.

Weeks later, Jack made headlines again after he reportedly caused problems during production of the movie Manson Girls. "Thora is a great actress," director Susanna Lo told Planet Fury (via IMDb), "but there have been several problems with her father/manager that make it too difficult to work things out in an ensemble cast situation where everything needs to be balanced and fair to the whole cast. You can quote me on that."
