TELEVISION / ARTISTIC BOUNDARIES

ACTRESS REFUSES NUDE SCENE; COSTUMER NOTES SHE HAS NEVER WORN CLOTHES.

Production stops. Wardrobe takes a very short inventory.

A fully furred longhaired cat refuses to leave a director’s chair beside an empty costume rack on a film set.

Feline actress Vivienne halted filming yesterday, calling a proposed nude scene “a cheap attempt to distract from the writing.” Wardrobe confirmed she had arrived without clothes, as she has for every episode.

Her representitive requested a closed set, a dignity clause and a robe. Production supplied the robe. Vivienne sat on it.

The director offered to shoot only her face. She refused that too, citing emotional nudity. Negotiations resumed after lunch, when someone mentioned a body double. Vivienne wanted to know if it was thinner.
