Ex-teens from 1968’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ file complaint over nude scene: ‘Dishonest for filming minors without their consent’
written by Alexandra Hartman Editor-in-Chief
Now in their seventies, the two actors filed a complaint last week in Santa Monica, California: they accuse the Paramount studio, which produced the film, of having sexually exploited them when they were still minors.
According to this complaint, consulted by AFP, the Italian director Franco Zeffirelli – who died in 2019 -, heavily insisted that they shoot this scene, otherwise “the film was going to fail”, when it was originally supposed to be done with flesh-colored underwear.
Complaint accuses film makers “of being dishonest and secretly filming nude or partially nude minors without their consent, in violation of laws […] regulating indecency and the sexual exploitation of minors”.
According to the document, the two actors suffered from anxieties and emotional distress in the more than five decades following the film. They are claiming compensation in the amount of several hundred million dollars.
Contacted by AFP, Paramount did not respond immediately to comment on this complaint.
The specialized magazine Variety pointed out that Olivia Hussey had defended the offending scene in her columns during an interview in 2018. At the time, she believed that Franco Zeffirelli had shot it appropriately. “It was necessary for the film,” she said then.
Unni Mukundan is crying, the experience of returning from Ayyappaswamy’s stable; Praising the actor, K. Surendran | K Surendran Pens Watching experience about Malikappuram movie

NoBJP state president K. praised Tun Unni Mukundan and Malikappuram cinema. Surendran. Surendran wrote on Facebook that the film gave him the experience of going to Sabarimala and returning home to Ayyappaswamy. Everyone who has gone to Sabarimala has a presence of Swami that they feel somewhere in their journey. That is what we were able to see through Malikappuram, added Surendran.
K Surendran’s Facebook post
Saw Malikpuram. The feeling of going to Sabarimala and returning from worshiping Ayyappaswamy. A beautiful film that will make any Ayyappa devotee cry, clap and take refuge. All those who have been to Sabarimala have a presence of Swami that they feel somewhere along their journey. That is what we can see through Malikappuram.
The highlight of this film is the dialogue in the movie ‘Bhaktan kede Ishwaran Manna Roopatham’. An eight-year-old girl’s devotion to Ayyappa through her grandmother and her longing to meet her Swami. The director has also managed to present the risk she takes for it.
Unni Mukundan is on a roll in the second half. The fight scene in the forest and the background music brings us to the peak of excitement. Unni’s fight scenes are brilliant like the climactic scene in Kantara. Another thing worth mentioning is the children’s acting.
Kallu Malikappuram and Unni Swamy gave a performance that won the hearts of the audience. Saiju Kurupam and Ramesh Pisharadi have done their roles beautifully. There is no doubt that Malayalees all over the world will cherish this film – K Surendran wrote on Facebook.
Basrawi News Encyclopedia – Noura Barakat wrote: The skirmishes between the Syrian artists Asala and the Emirati Ahlam moved from the “Saudi Idol” program to social media, with mutual comments between the two artists regarding Ahlam wearing high heels while taking pictures with members of the program’s jury.
In the details, Ahlam published a group of photos of her with the members of the “Saudi Idol” committee on her Twitter account, and a writer commented: “I miss you and I find # His origins # Majid # Authentic # Dreams_in_Saudi_Idol.”
However, Asala commented on the difference in height that appeared in the pictures between her and Ahlam, where she wrote, “And I miss you blaming me, but can I please hide the high heels from us, mom? You are tall and heels, and I am emerging from Planet Smurfs. I will take your whistle, but I will not deprive you of its sound in the air, so that you will penetrate all your diamonds.”
Ahlam returned and responded to Asala, saying, “My life is that if I walk barefoot, you will be beside me, my smurf, my soul. You are 175 and you are 70. There are differences.
Asala returned and published a picture of a dream shoe, writing: “Is it possible that there is such a thing ?! These heels that you wear, and they are more than 30 cm, are forbidden for your health. I apologize for taking a picture of it out of my amazement, because I did not see such a thing in my life.”
