"Romeo and Juliet" actors sue Paramount over nude scenes filmed in 1968 when they were minors [1]

Good luck to them on their lawsuit. Going to be tough for them to win it given how both have spoken positively over the years about that scene, similarly to how the Nirvana “naked baby on cover” guy spoke about that photo. And it’s interesting how part of their suit wants to note that the role “didn’t help them in their careers.”

This is just a money grab for two aging actors who didn’t get as famous as they’d hoped. Or at least that’s my opinion for what it’s worth.

EDIT: and I am being more cynical than I usually am about these things. If they were really forced into something they didn’t want and the nudity requirement were misrepresented to them, and their parents/agents didn’t protect them, then I hope they find the justice they are seeking.
