FILM 1180: UNFORGIVEN
TRIVIA: Clint Eastwood's mother
toiled through an uncomfortable day (wearing a heavy dress) as an extra,
filming a scene where she boards a train; but the scene was eventually cut,
with her son apologizing that the film was "too long and something had to
go." All was forgiven when he brought her to the Academy Awards and
thanked her prominently in his acceptance speech.
The script floated around Hollywood
for nearly 20 years, during which time Gene Hackman read and
rejected it, only to be later convinced by Clint Eastwood (who had
owned the rights to the script for some time) to play a role.
To maintain the authentic
atmosphere, no motor vehicles were allowed on the Big Whiskey set.
