00:55:57,221 I was separated at the time, I will say. 1188 00:55:57,221 --> 00:56:02,226 But we carried on like bandits, onscreen and off. 1189 00:56:03,327 --> 00:56:04,595 [yelling] 1190 00:56:04,595 --> 00:56:06,597 [splash] 1191 00:56:06,597 --> 00:56:11,602 -And then Diandre came for a visit. 1192 00:56:17,040 --> 00:56:21,078 And that was that as soon as I realized he had a wife. 1193 00:56:21,078 --> 00:56:22,679 That was that. 1194 00:56:22,679 --> 00:56:24,982 -I think Dad's got it. 1195 00:56:24,982 --> 00:56:27,985 It's, um... 1196 00:56:27,985 --> 00:56:32,990 that deep-seated charisma. 1197 00:56:33,323 --> 00:56:36,627 -[heavy breathing] I think you feel to close to the flame. 1198 00:56:36,627 --> 00:56:40,364 -It goes beyond, as you know, the physical attraction. 1199 00:56:40,364 --> 00:56:44,101 -I think you liked it. 1200 00:56:44,101 --> 00:56:47,070 [heavy breathing] 1201 00:56:47,070 --> 00:56:51,308 That's why she killed herself. 1202 00:56:51,308 --> 00:56:52,342 -Ah! 1203 00:56:52,342 --> 00:56:54,911 -Men fall in love with beauty and they seek it. 1204 00:56:54,911 --> 00:56:56,747 -Oh! 1205 00:56:56,747 --> 00:56:57,881 Oh! 1206 00:56:57,881 --> 00:57:02,486 -What are you doing? 1207 00:57:02,486 --> 00:57:04,855 -Sometimes in the case of a movie star, 1208 00:57:04,855 --> 00:57:06,423 it seeks them. 1209 00:57:06,423 --> 00:57:09,359 -[heavy breathing] Oh God, look at us. 1210 00:57:09,359 --> 00:57:11,328 -Come on, I want you inside of me. 1211 00:57:11,328 --> 00:57:12,763 -Oh no, no. 1212 00:57:12,763 --> 00:57:13,964 I can't do this. 1213 00:57:13,964 --> 00:57:14,831 -Come on, put it in. 1214 00:57:14,831 --> 00:57:15,499 -I'm not gonna do this. 1215 00:57:15,499 --> 00:57:16,300 -Come on, now! 1216 00:57:16,300 --> 00:57:19,603 -And that can be a very difficult thing, 1217 00:57:19,603 --> 00:57:23,073 to have beauty stalking you 24 hours a day. 1218 00:57:23,073 --> 00:57:25,542 -You stick your dick in my mouth and then you get an attack of 1219 00:57:25,542 --> 00:57:29,780 morality. 1220 00:57:29,780 --> 00:57:31,381 -This never happened, all right? 1221 00:57:31,381 --> 00:57:34,851 -Sex in cinema is very hard because everybody's a judge, 1222 00:57:34,851 --> 00:57:37,120 you know? 1223 00:57:37,120 --> 00:57:41,058 And it's hard for them to understand how choreographed it 1224 00:57:41,058 --> 00:57:43,026 is. 1225 00:57:43,026 --> 00:57:46,263 So if you go do with Adrian, think of, 1226 00:57:46,263 --> 00:57:48,832 you know, okay, so Glenn, go up on the sink. 1227 00:57:48,832 --> 00:57:53,837 -[heavy breathing] 1228 00:57:55,472 --> 00:57:57,808 -She's gonna put her hands back onto the thing, 1229 00:57:57,808 --> 00:57:59,643 into the water, okay? 1230 00:57:59,643 --> 00:58:02,579 And then how bout, okay, how bout if you take your wet 1231 00:58:02,579 --> 00:58:04,014 fingers and you stick them in my mouth. 1232 00:58:04,014 --> 00:58:07,217 [water running] 1233 00:58:07,217 --> 00:58:08,218 Let's do that. 1234 00:58:08,218 --> 00:58:13,156 I try to do a thing, I pick her up off of the kitchen counter 1235 00:58:13,156 --> 00:58:15,158 and I start taking-- My pants are down, 1236 00:58:15,158 --> 00:58:16,393 my trousers are down my leg. 1237 00:58:16,393 --> 00:58:20,230 I try to get her to bed is a comic relief. 1238 00:58:20,230 --> 00:58:24,167 Hahah, a nervous laugh that allows you to get out a nervous 1239 00:58:24,167 --> 00:58:28,004 laugh that frees up so you can enjoy the focus. 1240 00:58:28,004 --> 00:58:29,506 But it's all choreographed. 1241 00:58:29,506 --> 00:58:31,575 It's all kind of rehearsed. 1242 00:58:31,575 --> 00:58:33,844 -We developed a script, Stanley Jaffe and myself, 1243 00:58:33,844 --> 00:58:35,946 called 'Fatal Attraction,' which was a script that we were 1244 00:58:35,946 --> 00:58:37,047 passionate about. 1245 00:58:37,047 --> 00:58:41,618 -I was a television actor trying to make the transition into 1246 00:58:41,618 --> 00:58:43,286 feature films, period. 1247 00:58:43,286 --> 00:58:45,188 -And we went to Michael as our first actor, 1248 00:58:45,188 --> 00:58:46,123 and he said, yes. 1249 00:58:46,123 --> 00:58:46,990 He loved it. 1250 00:58:46,990 --> 00:58:48,358 He got it, instantly. 1251 00:58:48,358 --> 00:58:51,661 -So I was not on any kind of approved list. 1252 00:58:51,661 --> 00:58:54,097 -So then we went to get directors and eventually, 1253 00:58:54,097 --> 00:58:56,466 um, we got Brian De Palma. 1254 00:58:56,466 --> 00:58:58,902 -It's hard to fight for yourself as an actor if you don't have 1255 00:58:58,902 --> 00:59:01,037 the confidence, you know? 1256 00:59:01,037 --> 00:59:04,508 I mean, if you're feeling nobody else is seeing it. 1257 00:59:04,508 --> 00:59:07,511 -Brian and Michael met, and Brian De Palma came into us and 1258 00:59:07,511 --> 00:59:10,247 he said, I can't do the movie with Michael Douglas. 1259 00:59:10,247 --> 00:59:11,748 And we said, what? 1260 00:59:11,748 --> 00:59:12,649 What are you talking about? 1261 00:59:12,649 --> 00:59:14,785 We're gonna start shooting in six weeks. 1262 00:59:14,785 --> 00:59:16,553 And he said, I just don't believe in him. 1263 00:59:16,553 --> 00:59:19,256 I don't think he's sympathetic. 1264 00:59:19,256 --> 00:59:23,193 Now this, in retrospect, almost becomes comical because Michael 1265 00:59:23,193 --> 00:59:26,830 Douglas is the most sympathetic actors on screen and one of the 1266 00:59:26,830 --> 00:59:29,332 most amazing things about 'Fatal Attraction,' 1267 00:59:29,332 --> 00:59:32,536 to me, and I will never forget the first preview, 1268 00:59:32,536 --> 00:59:36,239 is that you have a man who has cheated on his wife, 1269 00:59:36,239 --> 00:59:40,944 goes home, jumps into the bed so it looks like he's been there, 1270 00:59:40,944 --> 00:59:43,079 and the audience started to applause. 1271 00:59:43,079 --> 00:59:45,549 That's how much they loved Michael Douglas. 1272 00:59:45,549 --> 00:59:48,518 But Brian De Palma, um, at the time, 1273 00:59:48,518 --> 00:59:50,353 did not want to do the movie with him. 1274 00:59:50,353 --> 00:59:53,056 And he withdrew from the project. 1275 00:59:53,056 --> 00:59:56,226 We never told Michael that until about five years later. 1276 00:59:56,226 --> 00:59:59,162 Because we felt that if we told him that it would hurt his 1277 00:59:59,162 --> 01:00:00,464 confidence. 1278 01:00:00,464 --> 01:00:04,935 -I was unaware till later. 1279 01:00:04,935 --> 01:00:09,105 And, of their support that Brian De Palma, 1280 01:00:09,105 --> 01:00:12,409 who was hot at the time, would, uh, 1281 01:00:12,409 --> 01:00:14,778 do the picture if I was not in it. 1282 01:00:14,778 --> 01:00:15,879 -Because we could laugh about it then. 1283 01:00:15,879 --> 01:00:17,347 He was one of the biggest stars in the world, 1284 01:00:17,347 --> 01:00:21,084 and Brian obviously thought that he had made a mistake. 1285 01:00:21,084 --> 01:00:23,787 -So where's your wife? 1286 01:00:23,787 --> 01:00:27,924 -Where's my wife? 1287 01:00:27,924 --> 01:00:31,127 My wife is in the country with her parents visiting for the 1288 01:00:31,127 --> 01:00:34,064 weekend. 1289 01:00:34,064 --> 01:00:36,733 -And you're here with a strange girl being a naughty boy. 1290 01:00:36,733 --> 01:00:40,370 -I don't think having dinner with anybody is a crime. 1291 01:00:40,370 --> 01:00:41,404 -Not yet. 1292 01:00:41,404 --> 01:00:44,407 -I think that often the relationship between men and 1293 01:00:44,407 --> 01:00:47,310 women, the relationship between the sexes, 1294 01:00:47,310 --> 01:00:49,346 was something that fascinated him, 1295 01:00:49,346 --> 01:00:51,948 that he struggled with as well in his own life. 1296 01:00:51,948 --> 01:00:54,451 -They said, how could you do it with a beautiful wife like Anne 1297 01:00:54,451 --> 01:00:55,385 Archer. 1298 01:00:55,385 --> 01:00:57,754 I said, yeah, but, wasn't she kinda kinky? 1299 01:00:57,754 --> 01:00:58,555 Glenn Close. 1300 01:00:58,555 --> 01:01:00,423 She looked like she maybe had something up her sleeve or 1301 01:01:00,423 --> 01:01:01,458 something like that. 1302 01:01:01,458 --> 01:01:03,126 Could that possibly not happen to you? 1303 01:01:03,126 --> 01:01:04,895 Might? 1304 01:01:04,895 --> 01:01:08,698 -The way you run away after every time we make love. 1305 01:01:08,698 --> 01:01:10,967 -Well Alex, what difference does it make whether I leave now or 1306 01:01:10,967
