From the Sci-Fi Wire:

“For now, it’s a tossup that people respond to me for my role in The Hole or Dungeons & Dragons,” [Thora] Birch said. “And I’m not sure why, but most of the people who I happen to encounter and who mention those films are from Kentucky or Tennessee and from smaller towns and mostly guys. And I’m not putting them down or anything. Some of them are still playing D&D. But that’s OK. If these people have found a way to connect to Thora Birch even when I’m sitting on a dragon, that’s pretty fulfilling.”
