I vaguely remember that after Kathleen Battle performed under contract at the Metropolitan Opera and then moved onto her next engagement, that the crew wore sweatshirts or t-shirts that said, “I Survived The Battle”. She was
I was with two other guys doing some renovation work at the American embassy in Prague. Shirley Temple Black was the ambassador at the time. Her secretary came into the room where we were working and said that the ambassador wanted to come in and see what we were doing, and while she would likely talk to us that we should not bring up her childhood movie career, as she felt that her work post-Hollywood was far more important. Ambassador Black was very pleasant and chatted with us about what we were doing, and I completely understand why she would not want to have her movies brought up.
I’ve related elsewhere that I met Dave Brubeck, who was very pleasant. While I’m sure he was probably tired of people bringing up his old quartet, he talked about them with me like it was the first time anyone had asked him.
The complaints were about stereotypical I’m number 1 on the call sheet everyone else is beneath me behavior. Bad for Sarah because that might be the only movie where she’s number 1 on the call sheet. It could be dismissed as one guy’s story but I’ve since seen a lot of seemingly genuine comments from others saying she was a nightmare to work with.
I don’t have anything to contribute to the OP, but with regard to Sarah Hyland:
She was in a made-for-TV remake of “Dirty Dancing” where she played Baby’s older sister. In the original movie, the character was comic relief (as well Kellerman’s nephew Neil), but the remake dispensed with those elements and they were straight character roles.
The time that Eddie Murphy was a cast member, soon after 48 Hours came out, Nick Nolte called in and said he couldn’t do the show that he had been scheduled to host. Supposedly burned out from working constantly but likely as not fried from partying too much. So Dick Ebersol, the producer at the time, decided that Murphy, a cast member who was rapidly becoming the biggest new star in America, should host the show.
I remembered this post when I read this:
“We never serve extra soy sauce, rude people, intoxicated people,” the sign proclaims. The line about extra soy sauce is highlighted in red.
Sushi J’s refusal to provide extra soy sauce on request has prompted bemusement in the local community, with social media users joking about smuggling in their own condiment packets.

Great sushi chefs are very particular about how their creations are served, and customers pouring on excessive soy sauce can drive them to madness!
