New Low for a Stingy Community

Stories of movie stars and their freeloading tendencies are the stuff of legend, but every now and then one hears of an incident that surprises even the most cynical of us. A popular male star who was involved in co-producing a tasteless two-hero comedy with another top male star some years ago has revealed that their leading lady—an up- and-comer at the time, a celebrated diva now—had an acute aversion to paying for pretty much anything.

No one complained when her manager issued standing instructions to production boys to buy a sizeable quantity of fruits for her daily use on set, and to stock her hotel room with a fresh basket every morning. But when she reportedly had a unit production boy—and not someone from her own staff—buy items of personal hygiene for her use, it fast became the thing everyone was talking about on set.

The famously bitchy stars, who have said they were already having a hard time with the actress and her unpredictable behaviour during the film’s production, swear that they are not making up this story, and that her most personal effects were in fact billed to the film’s budget—which, if true, has got to be a new low in miserliness even for an infamously stingy community.
