Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer' Sparks Memorable Cameo and Controversy

Christopher Nolan cast his daughter, Flora Nolan, in a brief but explosive cameo in his new film "Oppenheimer." Flora plays a character whose face is melted off in a dream sequence. Despite the gruesome visuals, Nolan praised his daughter's performance. The scene was created using practical effects, as Nolan prefers analog methods over CGI. "Oppenheimer," written by Nolan and based on a Pulitzer Prize-winning book, centers on physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer and his role in the creation of the atomic bomb. The film stars Cillian Murphy and is set to release on July 21.
