Cloris Leachmen Showed Gene Hackman What The French Connection Really Meant
It's nearing late afternoon. I'm guessing you've fully digested your meal, so here's the story of Frau Blücher kneeling before Lex Luthor's Zod…
"As we moved into the main course, it was as if a cosmic wind enveloped us. Some giant space magnet was pulling us [Cloris Leachman and Gene Hackman] together," Leachman writes. "We didn't finish the meal. We went upstairs, flew into bed and made love. It was epic."
Giant space magnets epically pulling two people together using the force of a cosmic wind? That description sounds better than the plot of Superman IV: The Quest for Peace.
And the next morning, Gene went back to his film and I went back to mine. I haven't seen Gene since that night, but I remember well the feisty lad he was."
It's so weird thinking of Gene Hackman as a feisty lad. Can you believe this sweet old lady once gave her maidenhood to the guy from Hoosiers?
The best part is when she talks about The Mary Tyler Moore Show co-star Ed Asner…
"One day we made an agreement that I would have sex with him if he lost 32 pounds," Leachman writes of Asner. "He almost did it; he lost 29 pounds. We both got so disoriented at what we were facing that his weight shot back up, and our assignation never happened."
Don't even try to get all these images out of your mind before dinner. It's impossible.
