Actor Demands That Changed Movies For The Better

Orson Welles in The Black Rose

During the 1950 production of The Black Rose, Orson Welles demanded that the coat he wore be lined with expensive mink fur. The actor, director, and producer’s demands proved burdensome and expensive, but production obliged since he was a star at the time.

Strangely, the coat went missing soon after production – only appearing a year later when Welles was seen wearing it during a performance of Othello! This time, the mink fur was on the outside.
