Blind Item #15 - Not So Funny

This child actress was probably B/B- list. She did a lot of one off projects. She had a couple chances at television glory but the shows failed. She has a very memorable place in television history because of one appearance in particular. Anyway, one of the very last projects on which she worked she was a teenager. Probably 14 or so. The lead actor in the movie was a foreign born A list actor who had a long career. During the movie, which was a comedy, the actor would invite her to his trailer and what started out as molesting turned into rape. She said he always smelled of cigarettes. She would try and say no to going to his trailer but his assistant or some other production assistant would always come get her and forcibly bring her. This went on for about ten days. She just couldn't handle it any longer and tried to kill herself by taking poison. It didn't kill her but permanently damaged her. Apparently the actor was known for this type of behavior but people looked the other way. It is why he liked working on movies with teens or having a character who was a teen.
