Tea Party



I've been keeping this one to myself for too long

He just dropped her

 
Was everyone such a good sport?
In Beauty and the Beast, we had a hard time with Klaus Kinski. Susan Sarandon played Beauty, and at one point, he was walking down the hallway carrying her for a scene, and Roger Vadim, our director, yelled "cut," and he just dropped her. It was really tense between them. Later, when he turns into a prince, he brought in Thomas Gainsborough's painting "Blue Boy," and said he wanted to look exactly like that. We brought in rubber bands to pull his skin back to make him look . . . more princely. We're filming and we do this effect where he turns from the beast into the prince and Susan Sarandon's line is, "Are such miracles possible?" She couldn't say the line without cracking up. He was getting angrier and angrier and the bands holding his skin back started popping.
