Dark Bilious Vapors

But how could I deny that I possess these hands and this body, and withal escape being classed with persons in a state of insanity, whose brains are so disordered and clouded by dark bilious vapors....

05/11/2004: This is the kind of stuff they didn't teach us at law school


Our pals at The Smoking Gun have managed to get a copy of Linda Fiorentino's "nudity rider". Apparently this is the addendum to the actor's performance contract that details exactly what she's going to show and what she's not going to show. Interesting stuff. If we'd had this kind of thing to read and discuss I'd have probably stayed awake in Contracts class more often.

I really liked Fiorentino in The Last Seduction. Man was she hot! But I've also heard she is one incredible pain in the ass to work with, which is why you see her in so few movies, and so many B movies.

The "pain in the ass" comment rings some bells with me; sounds like something I've read about her in the past. Frankly, if the "nudity rider" is indicative of other restrictions she puts on her work, I can see where that rep might be coming from....
