Did You Know?
| Trivia | June Wilkinson said Ted Knight was very nervous before they filmed their scene in bed because they had to be naked and he was afraid he'd get aroused. Wilkinson told him he wouldn't because filming intimate scenes for movies isn't exciting at all. She then said she'd even give him a hundred dollars if he did. After the scene was shot, he said, "You were right, it was the most unsensual thing I've ever done." Joking, she said, "Thanks a lot!" and they started laughing. See more » |
