shareHmm.. A while back I heard that on her movie sets the extras were instructed not to look at her. Apparently it became a thing at Central Casting where all of the extras would tell each other to stare at her on set because of this. Lol
sharei think that was faye dunaway
shareIt was Shirley MacLaine.
shareAn insecure person wanting to maneuver a movie set and trying to maintain the veracity of the character doesn't scream DIVA to me. Shir Mac wasn't a very glamorous woman at her time. Who wants people staring at you while you are trying to work? She wasn't Elizabeth Taylor, for gosh sakes.
shareI found her very hot when she was young (and a lot sexier than Taylor).
shareIf you're an actor surely that's part of the job.
