Towelhead Movie

IT'S STRANGE to hear Summer Bishil speak in a 13-year-old's voice -- high-pitched, tentative, as if determined to render herself a cipher. Bishil is actually 20, and was 18 when she starred as the lead Jasira in "Towelhead," the provocative new film from "Six Feet Under" creator Alan Ball. But she used the eerily accurate adolescent voice for this tale of a 13-year-old Lebanese American girl's coming of age in a Houston subdivision during the first Iraq war.
