Four For Friday - He Made Me

"We were sitting on set. It was the fifth or sixth take and I asked her if she wanted to do something fun like go to Las Vegas that weekend. She seemed interested and then I said maybe we could get tickets to see a show. I told her that _____________ was going to be performing and we could see him. She looked at me so calmly and said she had no interest in ever seeing him perform. I asked her why and she proceeded to tell me a story. She said it right there on set. She talked for a good thirty minutes about a day a decade earlier when she met him for the first time. You could tell by the way she remembered every last detail from the way he smelled to what he was wearing that she thought about this a lot and affected her every day since."

At the time it happened, the actress who is the subject of this blind was in her mid teens. She wasn't even old enough to drive. She was pretty close to A list at the time and would be for the next several years. She starred on a very hit network show. The show was about to go into its second or third season and there was huge promo campaign for the new lineup. This was back when the fall issue of TV Guide was must reading. It was by far the number one most popular magazine sold each week and that issue was like printing money. As part of the campaign, the network decided to promote all their shows via a special. The special was hosted by a an A+ lister who acted like an A+ lister.

Unlike almost every other part of the promo, the one involving our actress and the A+ lister forced them to be together. Alone. Yes, there were crew present for the actual shoot, but they wouldn't do or say anything about this A+ lister or anything he did. In the scene, the actress was supposed to wear something reminiscent of her character on the show. The A+ lister didn't like that and made the actress wear something which was much more feminine. He said it would be better if she didn't wear a bra. The actress remembered how he would constantly come up to her and rub her shoulders, which were bare in the top he had chosen. He was also always slipping the straps off her shoulders which would cause the top to fall. When they rehearsed, the A+ lister was constantly exposing himself to her and masturbating. He made her touch him while he touched her and she says he tried to rape her but finished before he could actually penetrate her. He tired to get an additional day of shooting alone with her but the network wouldn't pay for it. She says that it was about a 15 hour day and that he was touching her or forcing her to touch him for about 14 hours of it.
