The two stars of Romeo And Juliet have sued Paramount Pictures for more than $500 million over a nude scene in the 1968 film shot when they were teenagers.
Olivia Hussey, then 15 and now 71, and Leonard Whiting, then 16 and now 72, filed the suit in Los Angeles County Superior Court alleging sexual abuse, sexual harassment and fraud.
Director Franco Zeffirelli, who died in 2019, initially told the two that they would wear flesh-coloured undergarments in the bedroom scene that comes late in the movie and was shot on the final days of filming, the suit alleges.
