Paget Brewster talks about her experiences filming Troy Beyer's 1998 movie "Let's Talk about Sex"

http://www.avclub.com/art...uck-224130

.

PB: [Looking horrified.] Oh, man, come on. You can’t hold that against me. Because that was my first movie.

.

AVC: I’m just looking for stories, man.

.

PB: Oh, no. There’s too many stories. There’s stories that end in litigation if I’m not careful. [Takes a deep breath.] So that was my first movie. I was in an acting class in Los Angeles. Someone in my class was involved with that movie. I auditioned for it and got the part of Michelle. We went to Miami. Um… I’m trying to be careful. I had never been on location, and I had never done a movie, and there was a person involved in the film who was a horrifying person, a truly and exceptionally cruel and horrible human being. And a lot of people in the crew—and some of the actors—were cheating on their spouses. There was just a phrase that was something like, “On location doesn’t count.”

.

Meanwhile, I was dating an improviser in Los Angeles who, while I was in Miami, cheated on me! And then I was accused by someone of sleeping with the director of photography, who was a woman. And then I was accused by someone else in the cast of sleeping with her husband! And I was, like, “I’m not sleeping with anybody! And now my boyfriend is cheating on me, and all of you guys are cheating…” I was just, like, “I’ve made a huge mistake. Actors are assholes, producers are assholes, movies are a disgusting Petri dish of cheating, lying, abusive motherfuckers… Hollywood is bullshit! I’ve made the wrong choice!” But then I was, like, “Well, what am I going to do? Am I going to go back to bartending? Should I try to host another show?” I mean, it was hands down the worst experience I’ve ever had. I feel bad for the director and writer: Troy [Beyer] is lovely, and I feel bad saying that all that happened. But she was there. She knows. It was bad, man. It was bad.

.

Oh! [Sighs.] Oh, man. Someone else involved in the movie was sleeping with Madonna’s ex-girlfriend. Remember when Madonna dated that hot model, Ingrid something? And Madonna found out and started pulling our permits in Miami, so we couldn’t shoot in certain locations! It was an independent movie, but the making of this independent movie is an independent movie! It was so bad! And I don’t mean to be ungrateful. It was so crazy. And then the poster? They put my head on someone else’s body! I mean, it just never ended. And yet I learned so much…obviously! You learn from the worst stuff. So I learned a lot! [Laughs.] But I’m glad I didn’t give up on acting, because I really thought, “These people… This is a mess. There’s so many crappy people in this business. I need to get out.”

I didn't know this.....I watched that film years ago...3.5 out of 5 popcorn Troy was great on Dynasty and wrote B.A.P.S starring Halle Berry 4 out of 5 popcorn a funny silly film with a great cast. Plus it was cool to see her helping alot of people as a Clinical Psychologist. She is a great example of a former child star doing great things in her life, and a class act.

robin said the close-up shots of the pearl dress were her. troy wore it for the long and mid shots in that video.

and i thought troy overlapped with sheila, anna, kim starting in 88. SM had gone by then.

Troy was around in '86, there's a photo of them together. She's the inspiration 4 shockadelica.
"We just let people talk & say whatever they want 2 say. 9 times out of 10, trust me, what's out there now, I wouldn't give nary one of these folks the time of day. That's why I don't say anything back, because there's so much that's wrong" - P, Dec '15

This is all very strange.. Too much deep thinking for me with all the code talk of sleeping with somebody this, and sleeping with somebody that. My brain hurts. duh
