Faye Dunaway
vs.
Roman Polanski
The infamously “difficult” actress gave one of her most indelible performances as a femme fatale in the 1974 noir Chinatown, but director Polanski was notoriously exacting. (When he felt a stray hair from Dunaway’s head was ruining his shot, he plucked it from her scalp without asking.)
It only got worse from there: Once, Dunaway asked Polanski what her motivation for a particular scene was, and he replied “your paycheck.” Still, she has consistently—and furiously—denied the longstanding rumor she tossed a cup of urine at him at the end of a long scene after he refused her request for a bathroom break.
