It was supposed to be the movie that cemented them as a couple and move them forward from the roles they had been playing.
Instead, it was the end for all practical purposes of their careers.
When the movie wrapped they both went their separate ways.
When it first started, everything was great.
The A list couple were excited to be filming together in the kind of movie they thought would bring them awards and acclaim and vault them into a level of acting they hadn’t been able to reach with previous roles.
Both members of our couple were A list at the time.
Our actress was forever talking about her craft and how she thought she was better than the roles in which she was being cast.
This was before the internet and the tabloids didn’t really focus on the couple.
If they had, they would have seen both of them using drugs on a daily basis.
Our actress met a co-star on the set and there were sparks.
Her was a man.
Someone who was worldly.
He was not the star he or force he is today in movies but his intensity was there and she ended up in his bed within days after they first had a scene together on set.
Our actor in the couple didn’t handle this well and the drug use increased to the point where his performance started to suffer.
It took hours to film scenes that should have taken thirty minutes.
To get back at our actress he started sleeping with an actress on the set.
She was older than our actor but it didn’t matter to him.
He was trying to make his partner jealous.
It didn’t work.
Meanwhile, the co-star he was having a fling with was falling in love with him and thought they had a future together.
She was a mess for a year after filming ended and she found herself dumped.
It is amazing to see how one film and what happened on the set derailed the careers of actors who thought they were moving forward and instead never achieved anything close to what they had before filming started.
