The ET the Extra-Terrestrial star Dee Wallace has revealed that she fought director Steven Spielberg over a scene in the film she found “uncomfortable”, arguing that it would have spoiled the “purity” of the movie.
Wallace starred in the 1982 classic as the mother of a young boy who befriends a space alien he dubs “ET”. Henry Thomas played the boy in question, with a seven-year-old Drew Barrymore cast as his little sister.
