#432 โ€“ Kevin Spacey: Power, Controversy, Betrayal, Truth & Love in Film and Life

Well, with Annette, I just adored working with her. And we were the two actors that Sam wanted from the very beginning. much against the will of the higher-ups who wanted other actors to play those roles. But I've known Annette since we did a screen test together for Milos Forman for a film he did of the Les Liaisons Dangereuses movie.

It was a different film from that one, but it was the same story. And I've always thought she is just remarkable. And I think that the work she did in that film, the relationship that we were able to build. For me, the saddest part of that success was that she didn't win the Oscar, and I felt she should have.

Well, I'll share with you a story that most people don't know, which is our first two days of shooting were in Smiley's. the place where I get a job in a fast food place. Yeah, it's a burger joint. Yeah. And I guess it was like maybe the third day or the fourth day of shooting, we'd now done that. And I said to Sam, so how are the dailies? How do they look? He goes, which ones?

And that's exactly what we did. A couple of weeks later, they decided that it was now a drive-thru because Annette and Peter Geller used to come into the place and ordered from the counter. Now, Sam had decided it has to be a drive-thru. You have to be in the window of the drive-thru, change the costumes, and we reshot those first two days. And Sam said, it was actually a moment of incredible joy.
