Behind the scenes (189)

The Secret World of Alex Mack
Year: 1994
There was some minor controversy about a scene in the pilot of the series, in which after Alex's transformation into liquid, she reforms into human form nude (behind some boxes, no actual nudity shown.) While somewhat controversial, this scene was featured in every season 1 intro sequence.

In the scene of the pilot in which due to her shapeshifting powers Alex ended up embarrassingly nude behind some boxes, Larisa Oleynik was butt naked for real, only wearing a Towel over the portion of her body that remained obscured by the atrezzo. Given that only her head and shoulders were visible, and thus she could have remained mostly clothed without ruining the shot, it seems to have been a case of this trope. (Oleynik was 12 at the time and speaks of it as a very embarrassing experience.)

According to an interview with Oleynik, Alex's powers were tweaked so her clothes would morph along with her because Larisa was embarrassed to shoot unclothed scenes (she only did one in the pilot, in which she appears nude behind some boxes after morphing into liquid state).

Huevos de oro
Year: 1993
At only 15 years old, Elisa Tovati landed a role in 'Huevos de Oro.' She played a young prostitute, a very difficult role for the teenager, who at the time "had never had a boyfriend." In a January 2024 interview, the actress confided that the experience was "a violent leap" and that the sex scenes were the most complicated. "When you've never smooched a guy, it's complicated," she said, confessing that she struggled with filming when she was a teenager. "During three months of anguish, I ate," she said, explaining that she put on six pounds, "it was so emotionally difficult to bear." "I remember calling my mother one day, helplessly, saying, 'Well, at 6 p.m. I have a love scene with Javier Bardem, how are we going to make love? When it came to shooting the scenes with Javier Bardem, the young woman made a condition to the director: no rehearsals. But in the end, "when I shot the scene, I did it and it went very well, it was a very nice experience," she added.

Cyborg 2: Glass Shadow
Year: 1993
The film's director, Michael Schroeder, was having a hard time finding an actor who could convey the robotic nature of a cyborg while still having a compelling onscreen presence. Angelina Jolie fit the bill so perfectly that the director was willing to do whatever it took to get her cast for the movie, which was set to include a topless scene. Rather than lose the scene, it was decided that Jolie would be legally emancipated from her parents, Marcheline Bertrand and actor Jon Voight, so she could be considered an adult. This was not a stretch as Jolie was already living on her own with her boyfriend and had, according to Schroeder, finished her final two years of high school "in five months." It was a plan to which Angelina Jolie agreed and the legal process was undertaken to have a judge agree to the filing. Once that was done, the young star was considered an adult and the hurried production schedule could move forward. For his part, Schroeder felt the move made sense as Jolie was
"the most mature 17-year-old" he had ever met.

De Wereld van Ludovic
Year: 1993
The career of Mathias Coppens started in 1993 with the film 'De Wereld van Ludovic'. The film is about two teenagers who fall in love and therefore run away from home. Mathias got the leading role and the Dutch Bella van Meel was allowed to crawl into the skin of his co-star. In the film, the two fell in love, but in real life Mathias got butterflies in his belly.
'Already after day one I knew that I was in love. I've never been in love so much in my life as I did on Bella, but I've never dared to say that to her, "says Mathias. It's time to change that, Steven Van Herreweghe thought. Because in his program ' Van Algemeen Nut ' he brings the two old acquaintances together again.
The recordings for the film remind Mathias as if it were yesterday. "I did not go to school for two months and I fell in love." But there was also a nude scene in the film and that was not always easy for the 13-year old boy. 'I was so frightened to play that scene, because Bella had to undress me and then we had to lie naked next to each other', he continues.

Chaplin
Year: 1992
A body double had to be brought in for the nude scene between Charlie (Downey) and Mildred Harris (Jovovich). Milla Jovovich was only 16 years old at the time, and therefore too young to participate in a nude scene.

Psy
Year: 1992
Noone really knows what her birth year is. There was some "official" date 22.05.1978 but there is really no proof of that. It turns out she left for US just after the movie and many years later she came back, gave one interview in 2010 in which she claims she was 17 during filming and in the same interview she said she was 17 in 1992 when her mother had been murdered, that's why she left the country. She had been working as a hostess in a mall when she was spotted by photographer who was main actor's wife, that's how she got to the movie. She couldn't be a hostess in age of 14.

In the same interview she said she had been wearing flesh-colored underwear in the bathtub scene.
Carne
Year: 1991
In an interview with Philippe Lowinski, Blandine Lenoir said she was 15 at the time of filming. She said also she was afraid of the nude scenes, but Gaspar Noé convinced her because he was intelligent, respectful, kind and gentle.

El Sueño de Tánger
Year: 1991
The jump to the cinema would come from the hand of Ricardo Franco and «El Sueño de Tánger». Maribel was only 14 years old and was already facing her first nude and her first sex scene: «Not only was she a virgin, but she hadn't had a boyfriend. I've done it all before in the cinema than in life ». "I made love in the cinema long before I really did it," she said, "Ricardo Franco taught me. Imagine Ricardo, with how small he was, climbed on top of a huge Fabio Testi, telling me how he had to move me ». Testi, by the way, "was not exactly a gentleman."

On January 16, 1986, the newspaper El Pais published an article where he gave an account of the financial problems of the film: «Nevertheless, the filming of the film concluded in August in Madrid. In the last days of filming, with the economic problem without solve, the spirits warm up ... ››. The movie was seized and it took five years to release. It was also the newspaper El Pais that picked up his premiere on May 24, 1991: «He was born as a dream of adventures in Morocco, but it became, due to financial problems from the producer, in a real nightmare today, call it a miracle or screen quota is finally over. El Sueño de Tánger, directed by Ricardo Franco and produced by Carlos Escobedo in 1985, ceases to be a damn movie and today comes to theaters in Spain ... ››.

Rambling Rose
Year: 1991
In reference to the bed scene between Laura Dern and Lukas Haas, director Martha Coolidge said: "Lukas was sort of the perfect age to play the part of Buddy. It was important not to have a child, because the scene would have been unpleasant. It was also important not to have a man, because the scene would have meant something else." Capitalizing on the actor's curiosity about sex, Coolidge says, "Lukas knows that acting is living. He has made 25 movies. His great gift in Rambling Rose is that he shared something important, his first experience with sex, with the audience. Yet the whole scene is an illusion, except when he touches Laura's breasts."

La vénus à Lulu
Year: 1991
Interview with Caroline Laurence on filming "La Vénus á Lulu" - 1991
Dir: D. Losset Interview with Michel Legrand - "Le Filme" magazine... August 1992.
ML: How did you get the role as Venus in this film?
CL: My agent phoned me & said there was a role in a TV film calling for a slim Nordic-looking girl.... BUT...........I'd have to be naked through most of it & have to act with little boys, no sexual bits, very tasteful & directed by Daniel Losset as a 'Jacques Tati-style' comedy, just be naked for most of the scenes, although discretely filmed & covered by scenery for most.... what did I think about it?
ML: And you said?
CL: Well, my first reaction was "What??... you have to be joking", but he said he'd send me the filmscript Daniel had proposed, & I could make my mind up. I read the script & screenplay, I had no other jobs coming up, so I said " Why not?"
ML: How did you prepare for the film, in terms of rehearsals, acting with Maxime Boidron, the Lulu character?
CL: Oh Maxime is just a lovely little boy, a talented actor & he'd been in a couple of films before, so he knew the score in terms of rehearsals, retakes, & so on in films, although just 11 at the time, his parents had consented to his role & he'd read the script & they trusted in Daniel Losset. I met him for the first time on set in Provence, & Daniel suggested we go to the make-up trailer to run through our script & scenes together, just Maxime & me, to see how it would go, before progressing with the shoot. So we had the script in front of us, I asked him if it'd be alright if I was naked, to see how we could act OK together like that. I mean, he's an 11 year old boy, so of course he agreed: I know what boys his age are like! Which is really what the film is all about, as Lulu deliberately keeps me naked as long as possible, to show his friends, boast about having a nude woman hidden, etc.
ML: So, how did it go?
CL: Well, after a bit of chatting, psyching myself up for what I had to do, I just got undressed in front of him & he just watched me, like boys would of course. His eyes were nearly popping out of his head. Little dear! We ran through the first script together, with me naked for about 25 minutes, & after that he was happy, after he'd got over the staring at my pussy stage & we knew there'd be no more awkwardness about my nudity.
ML: How did you feel having to be naked in front of a little boy, embarrassed?
CL: It was one of the most awkward things I've ever had to do. But, as I said, I needed the role. Daniel had asked that I shave my pubic hair a little during my audition for the part, so I had, leaving just a triangle Brazilian with my lower bits shaved, & it was funny when Maxime asked why I was blonde but my 'front bit', as he put it, had brown hair on it. We both laughed when I explained this, haha.
ML: How long did the filming take?
CL: I've watched the film of course & I guess I'm actually shown in flashes naked in it for about 10 minutes in total. But I was on set for more than 2 weeks. My nude scenes were actually filmed over 6 or 7 days, in various locations. The first scenes were filmed in a field, & Daniel did them with bits of trees hiding my nudity, but soon later decided that was a bit coy, so I was filmed totally front-naked with Maxime later, after I'd agreed to this. There were several scenes we did with Maxime, Louis & another boy which were cut from the final edit, at my request, where they were examining my naked body & commenting. I thought a bit too much er, let's say, 'detail' of me was shown, & the boys were enjoying it a bit too much, obviously. But when filming you have to have makeup on skin, obviously. So, as I was completely naked, & had faint tan-lines & was cast as a naturist, I had to wear total body makeup, which rubs off easily, so between scenes I couldn't put on a robe, but had to stay naked & stand around, even having nude coffee breaks with the boys. For instance, the scene where I go into the first room Maxime takes me to to 'hide' me, lasts about 30 seconds, but we had to do rehearsals, 5 or 6 retakes & so on, so for that scene I was naked with him for about 3 hours, as I couldn't sit down or spoil the makeup & the makeup girl had to keep touching up various bits of me while the camera was moved, lighting changed, levels checked etc. This was very embarrassing for me also, as the other little boys featured in the film, who were just locals, insisted on being present, behind the camera, to watch me in some scenes, & Daniel had to let them, to stop them getting annoyed at Maxime & the other two boys being the only ones to see me naked, & they knew the film scenario & insisted on being there at the nude takes. Difficult, working with child actors, especially young boys. The scene where Maxime brings his little friend (Louis I think) in to see me asleep on the bed took ages, & several takes, as that little boy kept staring at my breasts & vagina & wriggling about & just going to pieces on cam & being difficult generally, spoiling the scene, & Daniel eventually had me put my hand over my pubic area to calm him down a bit. But that's one of the difficulties working with child actors I guess. That was a very hard take for me, funnily enough, shot from various angles but only one appeared in the final edit, & I was uncomfortable with that, as my legs were slightly apart, or I had to turn my bottom towards them on the bed on some of the takes, but that's not in the final edit. More difficult than the scenes with Maxime & the other boy, Charles-Henri. We had two or three nude scenes with him, & despite staring at my 'front bits', & making comments about my bottom & nipples when between takes, & getting a bit too close sometimes he was a good amateur actor.
ML: All in all, would you do another film like that?
CL: No. Particularly the outdoor nude running scenes, where my bouncing breasts are a bit much! It's one thing doing discrete semi-nude scenes with men or women, as I'd done in "Emmanuelle", but another doing them completely naked with little boys & a big film crew & a few local villagers watching, & I do regret doing the film now a little, as I was very embarrassed at having little boys see my front bits & breasts, etc., uncovered & in some takes I had to get a little too close to Maxime when naked for my comfort, but at least the boys got a good female anatomy lesson maybe. Despite my tension at being naked for such long periods of time, there were some moments of laughter. I remember doing one scene with little Maxime where I had to run up right next to him while he was trying to get a key for a door, but he wasn't tall enough to reach it. I ran up on the first take & stretched up for the key & accidentally my nipple poked him in the eye! We all fell around laughing & had to re-shoot that scene several times, as we all got the giggles every time I ran up next to him. Hahaha. I laughed when Maxime & the boys saw me in a dress in the end scenes of the film & said they preferred me with nothing on. All in all, however, it was a very funny film, but in hindsight, for me personally, a frontier I don't want to cross again. It wouldn't have been possible to shoot the film if it involved a naked man & little girls, for example, as that scenario has different connotations, but a nude woman is seen as non-threatening when acting with little boys... it was fun & at least it was warm when we did the shoot. ML: Thanks for the interview, Caroline. It's a very funny film, as you say, & in the best tradition of Jaques Tati. Congratulations.
