Today's Blind Items - The Set Up
I always thought Blame It On Rio was the movie which really took the whole get them out of the country so we can have sex with the underage stars to a next level. The thing is though, a producer told me of one that happened several years prior to that which was just as bad, if not worse. There was a movie which just had a one word title and there were plenty of roles for underage females. The more, the merrier as far as the director was concerned. The producer told me it was one big underage orgy with teens flown from the US halfway around the world with no supervision and a bunch of guys who just did everything they could to sleep with the actresses. One of the actresses was off limits to everyone but the director. That actress was also way underage and couldn't even drive yet. The married director was well over 30 years her senior, but it is what he wanted from the time he first conceived the idea in his head. The movie would have no chance of getting made today. Anyway, he was so enamored with this underage actress that he fled the US and lived overseas with her to avoid going to jail. They only returned when she became legal.
BIOR was in 84" sooooo off to Google and IMDB I go.
ReplyDeleteTess with Natassja Kinski?
ReplyDeleteFantasies/Bo Derek and John Derek??
ReplyDeletefucking sickos
ReplyDeleteThis is one time Larry Clark doesn't fit for the answer.
ReplyDeleteBO DEREK!
ReplyDeletesandybrook got this - it's Natassja Kinski
ReplyDeleteI think MD has it
ReplyDeleteNope John and Bo Derek. she stayed behind when he returned to get divorced
ReplyDeleteNo, Bo fits a lot better than Kinski even though she was 17 too
ReplyDeleteFantasies was filmed years before release

ReplyDeleteBo was born in 1956. Her first movie credit is 1977...making her 22, Fantasies released in 1981, she would have been 25 at that stage.
ReplyDeleteShe would have been 21 in 1977.
DeleteTess would be made today
ReplyDeleteExcept maybe that she was young and raped in the movie????
DeleteWouldn't surprise me if incestuous pedo Klaus Kinski offered Nastassia up to Roman Polanski. Kk was his other daughter Pola from the age of seven.
Delete*Klaus Kinski was raping his other daughter Pola from age seven.
DeleteTess fits better since John was 40 years older than Bo with Bo being born in 56" which would make her 25 in 81. Polanski was 31 years older than Kinski who was born in 61" making her 18 when Tess was released.
ReplyDeleteDerek is 30 years older than Bo and Polanski is 28 years older than Kinski.
DeleteWikipedia says Nastassja had an affair with Polanski when she was 15.
ReplyDeleteThank godnits not Tess (based on book Tess D’Auberville) . One of my faves and named my daughter after it!
ReplyDeleteOr hope it’s not. But I agree,that movie could still be made today whereas even the premise of Fantasies is clearly taboo
DeleteNo one cares.
DeleteFantasies was made in 1973 and released in 1981
ReplyDeleteAlso John Derek if Enty is to be believed was a DL closet case. It was the subject of a BI reveal several years back.
ReplyDeleteFantasies was filmed in 1973
ReplyDeleteTess (1979) was directed by Roman Polanski who had fled the USA in January 1978 because of his pending jail sentence. He certainly never returned to the USA, so the comment that they (i.e. the Director and the under aged actress) "returned" after the actress turned legal age is clearly not the case.
ReplyDeleteAlso Polanski wasn’t married when he made Tess.
DeleteHow is young D'Urberville these days, Trish?

ReplyDeleteFrom the IMDB link above:
DeleteIn 1973, left third wife Linda Evans for seventeen-year-old Bo Derek (then Cathy Collins) during the shooting of Fantasies (1981) in Greece. The film's backers were from a church organization and there was concern they would have John arrested for statutory rape. To escape charges the couple moved to Germany, then Mexico until Bo's eighteenth birthday.
I cant recall Tess needing scads of underage females. Sounds like the other one.
ReplyDeleteCarrie Nancy Allen/Brian De Palma
ReplyDeleteFor a second there I thought maybe I was reading a blind about Steve Cochran and his bizarre death !
ReplyDeleteHas Enty done that one yet ?
I don't know what's so hard about accepting the correct answer John and Bo Derek. I wonder what John Corbett knows.
ReplyDeleteJohn/Bo Derek. Bo Derek was 16 when they met. Director John Derek was 46. He left his wife, actress Linda Evans, for her. They married in 1976 when Bo turned 18.
ReplyDeleteA guess. Was it Kubrick, Lyons and Lolita?
ReplyDelete@loopymommy
ReplyDelete"The film's backers were from a church organization
Jesus Christ (pardon the pun), the goddamn movie promotes incest?!
What church is backing a film about a brother and sister riding the shit out of each other?
Seventh Toe Adventists?
@Flashy Vic
DeleteLOL!
I couldn't find a church connection within the list of producers. One of the producers was Bo's agent and another was an AD who worked with Peckinpah. McMullan had a little bit of a shady side.
What about Meatballs? Filmed in Canada, directed by Ivan Reitman.

ReplyDeleteIshtar
MD has the best guess so far. Fantasies filmed in 1973 making Bo Derek 16/17 at the time. One actress being off limits to every one except the director makes sense for her and John.
ReplyDeleteThe movie has 5 producing credits, all belonging to men so go figure.
Would Foxes fit?
ReplyDeleteHow about Jaws?
ReplyDeleteCandy?
