This older Academy Award winning actress who was A+ list back in the day once couldn't make it back to her trailer and the bathroom. So, there in front of cast and crew went #2 in a trashcan.
Derek, never heard of the glass of piss story, but she threw a glass of water in Polanski's face during the Chinatown shoot. However, she was provoked: several hairs (on her head!) were catching the light, so he walked over and yanked them out.
Actually, this sounds more like something loopy MacLaine would do.
I have a Faye Dunaway Story--We were in pick-up tix line for an Al Pacino Play years ago-it was a 'Special Performance' for a good cause & she cut ahead of all of us with "He's a friend of mine I must get in.."..all sorts of DIVA crap..CUT TO INSIDE: I'm seated RIGHT behind her and Adam Duritz(from Counting Crows) is to her left w/a friend. Faye refused to sit next him & how dare they seat her with "the regulars" she wanted the front row or she was leaving...on & on--a HORROR of a woman!!
http://my.xfinity.com/slideshow/entertainment-actorsvdirectors/9/ Things got really ugly between actress Faye Dunaway and director Roman Polanski on the set of “Chinatown.” The pair reportedly fought constantly during the 1974 shoot, which culminated in Dunaway throwing a cup of urine in Polanski’s face after he refused to let her use the bathroom during filming. -
okay, i'm now reading it that this older former A+ actress couldn't make it to the bathroom one time... So, it's NOT something that just happened & the actress is currently filming--- So, this could be Liza Minelli too... ugh... punctuation is our friend.
I attended a rehearsal of a project Dunaway's boyfriend of the time was directing. She arrived toward the end and quietly seated herself. No one knew it was her except those of us given a head's up by friends in the cast. This was just after she hit the scene with Bonnie and Clyde. No diva present at all.
@Derek...Oh! I think you gotta be hella mad to throw urine. Any chance he deserved it? For the record, she denies, denies, denies. My reply button is zonky today.

I've never understood her diva behavior. I've always found her acting overwrought.
ReplyDeleteunderstandable.... Whizz Rage !!!
ReplyDeleteActually, I forgot that Shirley Maclaine IS also in "Downton Abbey" DUUUH !!!(palm to forehead) so yeah, makes sense this IS Shirley...
ReplyDeleteJessica Lange won a Best Supporting for Tootsie and had a coke problem. As this sounds as if it's recent I'm going with her on the Am Horror set.
