Blind Item #8 - Reader Blind

This occurred on a somewhat surreal sitcom many years ago. All the people involved are deceased.

The attractive foreign born lead actress came from an acting family and had a noticeable accent.  This aging supporting actor on the show was most famous previously for being a sidekick in a specific genre of films.

The supporting actor had grown obsessed with the female lead and his character on the show being oily and dishonest allowed him a chance to harass the actress. At first she ignored it but one day he made the mistake of touching her.  The actress, who had done some fighting as part of her work-out routine,  immediately punched the supporting actor in the nose bloodying it and knocking him down.

The Oscar nominated lead actor on the show who was not on set at the time supported her action. On her behalf, he had already warned the supporting actor to knock it off. Needless to say, the supporting actor did not bother her again.

  5. All girls should be trained to fight in school. Statistically speaking, they're going to have fend off at least one jerk during their lifetime, probably more.
