money dried up and since they made some of it doing a nude scene in 68


First world problem?

If they did the scene in 69 instead of 68 they may still be getting rerun royalties. jk

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The two stars of 1968's “Romeo and Juliet” sued Paramount Pictures for more than $500 million on Tuesday over a nude scene in the film shot when they were teens.
Olivia Hussey, then 15 and now 71, and Leonard Whiting, then 16 now 72, filed the suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court alleging sexual abuse, sexual harassment and fraud.

Usually SuperSaint is the first one in threads mentioning underage girls bemoaning the lack of pics. He must be in jail again.

This seems contradictory.

It is and doesn't even make sense: "they were filmed in the nude without their knowledge"

You can't hide a 35mm movie camera. It's too big. Then there's guys and equipment doing the light, sound, etc.

Haha same. Our teacher realized what was happening, meant to FF but hit rewind, then paused it right on time. We were dying.

How many highschools are guilty of distributing child porn to minors because of this movie?

I'm curious why they didn't do this while the director was still alive? Hmmmm...

Still, it's weird and gross kids that age were filmed nude.

Maybe they should sue their parents.

The court filing says the Hussey and Whiting have suffered emotional damage and mental anguish for decades, and that each had careers that did not reflect the success of the movie.

Somewhere Sally Mann, Time Magazine's "America's Best Photographer" for 2001 and recipient of the 1992 National Endowment for the Arts Individual Artist Fellowship as well as the Fellowship of the Royal Photographic Society (UK), is likely shaking in her boots.

In addition, Thora Birch was 16 when she filmed her nude scene for American Beauty. Both her parents approved. Not surprising since they were both porn actors (her mom is Carol Connors)

I remember watching it too. We watched it my senior year. I was one of two students who was still 16 as a senior and had to get my mom to sign a permission slip b/c it was Rated R.



ETA: Nevermind. That was MacBeth that was rated R we watched Senior year. I'm a stupid head.

A quick google peek shows Olivia had no problem showing them on camera before or after.
