Am I the only one who didn’t know Richard Pryor was gay? Wtf

He was bi.

It’s a different world.

I googled that and found the thread. Wow

I bet Jackie Gleason nailed him while filming The Toy. Him and Gene Wilder probably blew each other a few times.

I remember reading an article where Pryor talked about screwing some gay tranny in his hood. Went so far as to describe how the gay guy would move his hips a certain way, that would... umm, how do I say this?? Make the ending of the event much more much more, um, forceful?

Maybe the article was recounting a show of his at the Hollywood Bowl in the 70's?? I can't remember, because I really don't want to. Ugh.

ETA: okay Brando?? Ugh. that scene in Last Tango In Paris where he clipped the girl's fingernails before she swathed them in butter then shoved them up his arse scared me - had to watch that movie for a college course believe it or not. Anybody that was willing to do that in a movie had to be up for anything IRL.

Never heard that before.

The actress Maria Schneider had no idea that was going to happen and the director Bernardo Bertolucci has even admitted it before.


Bernardo Bertolucci

quote:

---

It was in the script that he had to rape her in a way. And we were having with Marlon breakfast on the floor of the flat where we were shooting. And there was a baguette and there was butter, and we looked at each other and without saying anything, we knew what we wanted. But, I’ve been, in a way, horrible to Maria because I didn’t tell her what was going on, because I wanted her reaction as a girl, not as an actress. I wanted her to react humiliated, if it goes on, she shouts, “No, no!” And I think that she hated me, and also Marlon, because we didn’t tell her, and there was that detail of the butter used as a lubricant, and I still feel very guilty for that.

Maria Schneider

quote:

“Marlon said to me: ‘Maria, don’t worry, it’s just a movie,’ but during the scene, even though what Marlon was doing wasn’t real, I was crying real tears,” she said. “I felt humiliated and to be honest, I felt a little raped, both by Marlon and by Bertolucci. After the scene, Marlon didn’t console me or apologize. Thankfully, there was just one take.”

She added: “I should have called my agent or had my lawyer come to the set because you can’t force someone to do something that isn’t in the script, but at the time, I didn’t know that.”
