Miriam Margolyes says Steve Martin was “horrid” on ‘Little Shop Of Horrors’ set
Little Shop Of Horrors.Margolyes, who played an assistant to Martin’s sadistic dentist character Orin Scrivello in the Frank Oz’s musical, shared her experience working with Martin in her new memoir, Oh Miriam! Stories From An Extraordinary Life.In the film, the pair appeared together in the musical number ‘Dentist!’, where Martin’s character slams a door in her face.“I was hit all day by doors opening in my face; repeatedly punched, slapped and knocked down by an unlovely and unapologetic Steve Martin – perhaps he was method acting – and came home grumpy with a splitting headache,” Margolyes wrote (via The Huffington Post).She later described Martin as “undeniably brilliant, but horrid to me”, adding: “Let it not be said that I have never suffered in the name of art.”Margolyes went on to compare him to her “unerringly sweet” Ed And His Dead Mother co-star Steve Buscemi, who she said “knocked spots off Steve Martin”.In recent years, Martin is best known for starring in Hulu series Only Murders In The Building opposite Martin Short and Selena Gomez. At the time of writing, he’s not responded to Margolyes’ claims.Recently, Margolyes expressed her disdain for Monty Python actor John Cleese, who she described as “poisonous” and “irrelevant”.“John was a brilliant comedian in his day, but something has turned,” she told the Guardian.

Selena Gomez deletes ‘Only Murders In The Building’ Instagram post after being accused of breaking strike rules
Selena Gomez has deleted an Instagram post about Only Murders In The Building after being accused of breaking strike rules.The singer and actor appears in the recently-released third season of the Hulu/Disney+ show alongside Steve Martin and Martin Short.Earlier today (August 30), a post appeared on the singer’s official Instagram account which tagged the show’s official account. As part of SAG-AFTRA strike rules, members aren’t allowed to promote their work via interviews or social media posts.The post has now ben deleted, and it hasn’t been confirmed whether the post in question constituted rule-breaking, but some online have accused the post of being “tone deaf” amid the ongoing strikes.Following a break down in negotiations between the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) and the US actors’ union SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild–American Federation of Television and Radio Artists), the latter’s national board of directors voted unanimously on July 13 to join writers by going on strike.It will mark the first time in more than 60 years that actors and writers have gone on strike simultaneously.SAG-AFTRA – Hollywood’s largest union, which represents 160,000 actors and performers – and the Writers Guild of America (WGA) are seeking an increase in base pay and residuals in the age of streaming, while other negotiations relate to safeguards against the unregulated use of artificial intelligence in the industry.The WGA strike, which began on May 2, occurred following unsuccessful negotiations with AMPTP, who represent major Hollywood studios like Netflix, Disney, Apple, Amazon, Paramount, Warner Bros.
