Whatd She Have to Say About It Years Later?
In an interview, she was asked if she was ever embarrassed to watch any of her older films: I dont do it. Theyre all really difficult. I thought, not too long ago, Okay, what could I watch with a friend? Or with [husband] Paul [Bettany], for example. I thought, maybe, something like Phenomena, because I was thirteen, and its a horror film. Paul, early in our relationship, really wanted to see it. But I couldnt. As soon as it came on, I just went over the top of his head trying to cover it, No, no, no, shut it off! I couldnt handle it. (Source: MovieWeb.) In subsequent interviews, she would admit she only did the role to vacation in Italy (Source: Vogue), though she remained fond of Dario Argento and enjoyed working with him (Source: JoBlo.)

She should be more proud of PHENOMENA, it 's a good film with stunning imagery and it's one of her best characters and performances with WAKING THE DEAD and HOUSE OF SAND AND FOG.
Happy birthday Miss Connelly!!

I think many actors don't like to watch their own early movies, or even newer movies too often.

No, no, no, shut it off!
Was also the reaction of my friends when I tried to get them to watch Phenomena with me.
I totally get where she's coming from though, lucky for me I'm not a celebrity so I was able to go to youtube and delete all the videos made when I was a teenager.
