What was one of the biggest scandals in the production of a film or series?

 When one looks into unusual events that occurred in the 80s and 90s related to problems on set, we see that they were much more frequent than they are today… or that they were simply more publicized than they are now.

The famous actress and Hollywood star,Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, starred in one.

In one of his films produced in conjunction withJames Cameron From 1989, apparently there were scenes that had their various risks, such as having to film at a depth of 12 meters to capture some of the essential shots of the filmThe secret of the abyss.

The scene was truly stressful, in which her character technically drowns and her husband helps her to be saved. In real life, the actress said she had a terrible time, and was literally freezing and soaked because the director wanted to get the best out of the scene.

It was later confirmed by the media that she was very angry about the treatment she received, and that she even yelled at the production that "they were not animals" in a furious outburst and without thinking twice at the time of the recording of said scene.

A delicately complicated situation.
