‘Romeo & Juliet’ stars sue over 1968 film’s teen nude scene | Morning in America

Crazy how my teacher played It in class

Ой да ладно, пускай потрясут эту педофильскую конторку,ничего страшного, не обиднеют! Темболее, что им ни хрена не заплатили за этот фильм!

Remember that just few years before this film African-Americans were not allowed to study, sit, eat, drink where white people made their lives. Should that people sue the places where they were discriminated and humiliated, treated as an inferior race? What these actors are doing now is so banal! Romeo and Juliet is the only film they are remembered for. Too many greedy people on this world.

This is the most Pathetic crap I’ve heard of..saw the movie when it first came out. Excellent movie! Hussey and Whiting both auditioned for the film…and Note: you were not young children at the time of filming. You are Both 5/6 Yrs older than me and I was 16 when the movie came out. You both went on Praising this movie in Many interviews. Now all these years later…you file such a claim? How stupid is this? Btw…Hussey? You were and have been an extremely difficult person to work with filming. You’re a spoiled uppidy brat! It was well known how difficult you were during the filming of Romeo and Juliet. I remember. Good luck with this insane lawsuit. You must not have a life today.

As Bela Lugosi said any publicity is good publicity. Waiting for the book to be released.

Everybody wants something for nothing. Disgraceful!

This sounds like a payday.

This Adrienne woman is insensitive and unprofessional to laugh and snap fingers like that at that moment, whatever the reason. She should be fired.

they will win and deserve every penny…… Especially since it’s both of them not just her or not just him. I’m sure it’s something they’ve discussed throughout the years. Not the suing part but the exploitation and how it affected them.

Good for them. That was child sex abuse, then, as now. Directors need to hear this message.

Stupid. Why not 20 years ago?

Methinks it is a little too late to be suing anyone.

This world is sick to not think these kids were exploited.

Hahahaha running out of money? Ridiculous

I saw this in high school. I just assumed they were 18 & just looked young. I hate that child nudity was involved at all but must have been edited out of the version I saw at school. One thing I can say about this rendition, it was very well done & the best I have seen this story told. Too bad, it won’t be available after this lawsuit

I saw this film when it first came out. A great film. I think it helped a lot of people to appreciate Shakespeare. I was 21 at the time. I think it was tasteful. Not salacious or pandering. If this bothered Leonard and Olivia, why did this take so long. I am sure that they enjoyed the accolades that they so richly deserved.

There are several quotes from Olivia defending and supporting these scenes. They will, of course, be brought up in court.

Neither of these actors had great careers after this film. Although Olivia had a better run.

I am sorry that they feel they have sue after all these years. Both of them helped to make an incredibly beautiful film. They should be proud. Not litigious.

Pay up pervert

Laughing at sexual abuse is not funny, you airhead.

Why didn't they refuse to do the scene 55 years ago ? Are they low on money ? Not a good look.

Sounds like a payday. Sounds like a lawyer approach them and they read the script and went with it.

What a joke

This is NOT funny! Get it together News Nation! Abuse is horrible and real and the trauma life long! They deserve every penny of $500,000,000. It is NOT bazaar, they were EXPLOITED when they were CHILDREN to sell seats to a movie to make Paramount money. What is wrong with you people? You would not be laughing or scratching your head if it were you or your children, would you? No wonder we never saw them after R&J! Shame on you!

To those asking why they laughed. The lady who is standing finished her lines and handed it back to the lady at the desk. The camera was supposed to cut to the lady at the desk but it didn't, so she snapped her fingers to get someone's attention. They had an awkward laugh because of the technical error.

Good for them

Geez, get over it people.

Wow...maybe Chappelle will have fun with this one too. The United States of Silliness.

I remember watching this movie in my 9th Grade English class before Christmas Brake and one of the boys in my class rewinding the scene so we can watch it twice....

What in the actual money grab😏?! Good gracious🙄

They are suing because the world we live in is a bizarre circus filled with clowns seeking attention.

Why is that funny?

Absolutely disgusting. They should sue. That's 100% child p***. Also, I'm not sure what's so funny.

Shouldn't they sue their parents for giving consent ?

I can think of lots of actors who've done nude scenes and had flurrishing careers. Maybe their lack of roles had to do with their lack of ability to act.

Had a crush on Olivia Hussey back in the day ❤

one of those "better late than never"

This lawsuit is NOTHING to laugh at but what is FUNNY is how this show AVERAGES 26,000 viewers maybe Adrienne will smile when she's out of a JOB

Not okay, but .. actors' parents and agents signed off? Release forms must have been in place in 1968?

Lmao... seriously? They must be Californian that's all they do is sue each other

The fact that both these news anchors LAUGHED grosses me out. 15, 16 are CHILDREN. I’d sue the fuck outta the people who profited off my child p*rn too if I finally wised up.

1968????????
