Zeffirelli also wrote the foreword to her memoir, which came out in the far-off pre-MeToo year of... 2018. :referee:

Hmmmm

 

So, she's got a lawyer, now ringing expert witnesses on coercive control.

Old article where the cast call the scene 'tasteful' - will defo come up if this goes to court

 

The hypocrisy is evident.

Though she noted that Zeffirelli could be very temperamental, Hussey describes him as a “genius. He just brought things to life. That’s what I loved about Franco. He hired always the most perfect person to do the role, which ever role it was. And then he let that actor do what they felt.”

...............

“I think it was such an amazing experience,” she said. “I used to say to Franco, I don’t want to work with anyone but you. I can do anything for you because you understand me. I mean if I could have, I would have just worked with Franco.”

Death on the Nile surviving cast now down to just Mia Farrow and Lois Chiles- would be ironic if Chiles was last one standing.

RIP Olivia Hussey. Romeo and Juliet is an enchantingly beautiful movie. One thought I had was that perhaps this somewhat abstruse claim for damages because of Romeo and Juliet was also for treatment costs? She lived in the United States, after all.

 

Of the surviving actors, most are not really in the public eye. Leonard Whiting is known almost exclusively through Romeo and Juliet, so that one can hardly expect regular reporting.

 

Bruce Robinson is very sporty for his age in the things you see on social media. On the other hand, he is known as an excessive wine drinker, he practically only writes his scripts like Withnail & I under the influence of alcohol.

 

Michael York has had amyloidosis for well over ten years, a disease that often leads to death after only a few years. However, he is no longer really in the public eye, so it is hard to know how he is doing.
