Director Marty Callner Liked What He Saw
Silverstone’s Aerosmith trilogy began after director Marty Callner spotted her on The Crush, a 1993 erotic thriller with Alicia playing a young, hopeless romantic, who’s in love with her older neighbor Nick. Callner liked what he saw on the screen. He liked the fact that Alicia looked like an innocent little girl who wouldn’t hurt a fly yet was able to play someone who was far from it.
He connected her to Aerosmith, who made a fortune from having her on their video. “Aerosmith made a hell of a lot of money off that clip,” Silverstone revealed. “Their sales tripled or something. They would have been crazy not to ask me back.”
