Intimacy guidelines should be used to stop nude scenes being sprung upon actors “at the last moment”, says intimacy coordinator Ita O’Brien. Romeo and Juliet actors are suing Paramount Pictures for alleged sexual abuse on set of the 1968 film.

Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting, who are now in their 70s, claim Zeffirelli put them under pressure to do the scene nude, despite previous assurances that they wouldn’t have to perform unclothed. They are seeking damages of more than £400 million, based on the suffering they say they’ve experienced and the revenue brought in by the film since its release. Paramount is yet to publicly respond to the claim.

Ita O’Brien is an intimacy coordinator for film, TV and theatre, who wrote the Intimacy On Set guidelines adopted by many film studios.

Wasn't that the film where Bruce Robinson was chased around by Zefirelli when Robinson was a nipper? Which is what Marwood and Uncle Monty was the inspiration for?
