[quote]Wasn't she a holy terror on the set of "The Love Boat"? They flew her somewhere on a 747 but she didn't like her seat so she sat on the floor bitching about it.
[quote]Bernie Kopell talks about her on the Gilbert Gottfried podcast. She was a fucking nightmare!
R80 & R81, I found a Kopell’s Television Academy interview where he talks about this. This is from the YouTube transcript:
[quote]We had Academy Award winners like you wouldn't believe we had Ernie Borgnine, “Marty,” we had Eva Marie Saint, “On the Waterfront,” we had Shirley Jones, “Elmer Gantry,” we had Ray Milland, “Lost Weekend”, and we had Shelly Winters. Shelly Winters.
[quote]We're going to the Mediterranean, and Eva Marie Saint and Shirley Jones are sitting in First Class. 747. Giggling like school girls. Oh we're going to have a great adventure in the Mediterranean, this is going to be great.
[quote]So, I was upstairs, they used to have this lounge upstairs, very opulent, and I hear some kind of a fuss down below. What is it? I come down the stairs. Shelly Winters is sitting in first class on the floor. What's what's the problem? She's unhappy with her seat in first class. It went on this way. Disruptive. Look at me, look at me, but very counterproductive.
[quote]So one day we're on the island of Capri. We have to come in, it gets to be very difficult for the crew and the cast to do something that's on on a location because at Capri, the dock was not large enough to accommodate our big ship.
[quote]So, we had to take all of our equipment and all of all of the actors and all the all the crew on tenders, these little little ships, little boats, and take all the all of the equipment, take it to the to the island and unload it, put it on trucks, and take it to the location, very difficult. So, Shelley Winters, she gets… and we have to be back on the ship at 4:00, and there are paying passengers, the ship has got to go.
[quote]And Shelly Winters doesn't like the way her hair is, and she doesn't like the lines, and she wants to change things.
[quote]Ernie Borgnine, who had experience with her on Poseidon, ripped into her with every Italian curse that no one in the world had ever heard of, and I think that's what she was aiming for. But that was the one fly in the ointment that we had, but Eva Marie Saint was a dream throughout the whole thing.
Then he goes on, talking about Eva Marie Saint.
