Marlene Dietrich visits the set of Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?, 1966:

She watched quietly from the sidelines while all four actors went through their paces. When the scene was over, Dietrich ran up to Richard Burton and fawned over him, telling him he’d surely win an Academy Award for his performance. She then kissed Elizabeth on the cheek and said, “Darling, everyone is so fantastic! You have a lot of guts to perform with real actors.”

Elizabeth just smiled. She then said, “Yes, I do. And when I get home, Marlene, Richard and I are going to fuck like bunnies.”

(Behind the scenes)

DURANGO, Mexico— On Wednesday, January 28, 1959, Hepburn was pitched from an Arabian stallion during the shooting of ‘The Unforgiven’. Camera trouble developed, someone yelled “cut,” the horse stopped abruptly and the star went over its head. Ernest Anderson, the producer’s spokesperson, said she seemed to bounce two or three times. She was unconscious for five minutes.  "I feel fine," the actress said from her stretcher. "It only hurts when I laugh," she told the press and newsmen… "So don’t say anything funny!" Mel Ferrer, serious-faced beside his smiling wife, said, “She’s in pain every minute. She won’t say it and won’t admit it.” Ferrer added, “On the phone, right after the accident, Audrey said to me, ‘Don’t get angry at the horse! It wasn’t the horse’s fault.’” Audrey had four broken bones in her back and a sprained leg. By an amazing coincidence, she was nursed back to health by the Sister Luke she portrayed in The Nun’s Story. Sister Luke nursed Audrey almost around the clock in her Beverly Hills home.
