Sally Field was allegedly asked by a director to take her shirt off and kiss him.
During an audition with director Bob Rafelson for the 1976 feature Stay Hungry, Field’s writes she was asked by him to take her shirt off and kiss him.
“In the midst of casually talking about the work, he told me to take my top off so he could see my breasts, saying since there was a nude scene in the film, he needed to figure out how to shoot me,” Field says. “Ignoring the sharp jab of emotion that shot through me, I removed my shirt as casually as he had made the request, then sat for his approval with my eyes closed — the only clue that those fingernails were clawing my insides.”
She continues, writing Rafelson told her, “Okay, Sal, the job is yours. But only after I see how you kiss. I can’t hire anyone who doesn’t kiss good enough.”
Field kissed him and got the job. When reached by The New York Times for a statement, Rafelson denied the allegations saying, “It’s totally untrue. That’s the first I’ve ever heard of this. I didn’t make anybody kiss me in order to get any part.”
Stay Hungry marked the final film for Production Designer Toby Carr Rafelson, Bob’s wife and film production partner. When she learned husband Bob played with one woman too many on this film, including Sally Field, she filed for divorce, which was granted shortly after the film’s release. She never worked for Rafelson again.
Arnold Schwarzenegger won a Golden Globe Award for “Best Acting Debut in a Motion Picture”, even though his debut was in Hercules in New York (1970).
Arnold Schwarzenegger lost a large amount of weight during the filming in 1975 so he wouldn’t look so much bigger than his competitor Ken Waller. After filming ended, Arnold worked hard to gain weight for the Mr. Olympia contest that fall. His preparation was filmed and became the movie Pumping Iron. Arnold won the 1975 Mr. Olympia contest and then announced his retirement from competitive bodybuilding. However, after getting back into great shape for the filming of Conan the Barbarian, Arnold entered, and won, the 1980 Mr. Olympia contest.
