Favorite stories in the movie business?

I stopped, thought for a few seconds. I remember reading John Huston getting angry at Errol Flynn for talking ill about Olivia D'Havilland. They fought in the yard, and both went to the hospital together and seemed to laugh it off.



I'm pretty sure I've shared this one before, but in case I haven't...Shirley Jones was pregnant with her youngest son, Patrick Cassidy, while she was filming the 1962 musical The Music Man. She and Robert Preston were shooting the scene on the foot bridge where they sing "Til There Was You". At the end of the song, Jones and Preston hug and at the exact moment they hugged, Patrick kicked Shirley so hard in the stomach that Preston actually felt the kick. If you watch the movie, you can actually see Preston's stomach move during the hug. Anyway, an adult Patrick Cassidy was introduced to Robert Preston at a party, to which Preston replied, "We've already met."
