Blind Item #4 - Reader Blind

A number of decades ago, a film was being shot that would ultimately go on to become a classic albeit a dark one. It was based on a novel by an award winning writer.

There were four actors in the film - It could be considered an ensemble piece.  The actors were 1.) A deceased star who was probably A+ at his peak which came after this film although this film is considered one of his best works 2.) An Oscar winning/Oscar nominated actor with a very famous offspring 2.) An actor who is also associated with music.

The fourth actor is a retired character actor who has a very shocking disturbing scene in the film which has become a part of pop culture.

The night before the scene was to be shot, the character actor was drinking with the other actors and voiced out his stage fright about this very vulnerable scene. The actors tried to help him by running through and practicing the scene but because they had been drinking they got a little carried away and all three actually did the physical contact implied in the scene with the character actor, it wasn’t acting.  They agreed to never talk about this again but it did relax the character actor when it came time to film the actual scene.
