Watch Just Before I Go Online Metacritic. I interviewed actressPlayboy model Victoria Vetri for Bill Georges book Eroticism in the Fantasy Cinema. It was the second interview I had ever done up to that point. The big deal for me was that I was actually speaking to a Playboy Playmate the dream of every red blooded American male who ever perused an issue of Playboy. Tory, as she preferred to be called because she didnt like the name Vicki, was charming, engaging and generous with her time. My tape recorder had malfunctioned and she very kindly agreed to do the interview over again the next evening. During our second interview, Tory asked if she could change her answer to a question I had asked concerning Roman Polanski, who directed her in Rosemarys Baby. Her original answer was, Im just glad hes out of the country, in reference to the statutory rape case during which he fled the country to avoid a lengthy jail sentence. She changed her comment to, I think he is a very creative director. Prior to interviewing Tory, she told me an amusing story concerning the making of When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth. When it came time to do the scene where she comes out of the water with a fish in her mouth, the director, Val Guest, had Tory put an actual dead fish in her mouth. To add insult to injury, the director did a number of takes, as Tory emerged from the water with the dead fish clenched between her teeth. Ever the trouper, Tory did the retakes without complaining. As you can see, being an actress isnt all glitz, glamour and adulation. Cast and crew, synopsis, related links, and user comments.

I felt a sense of sadness as I read on the various news websites the details concerning Torys trial in 2. Bruce Rathgeb, because she felt he had been cheating on her. Luckily he survived, but Tory was sentenced to nine years in jail for attempted murder. The story received cursory attention but not much more than that. After all, 4. 4 years has elapsed since her appearance in the magazine and Tory hasnt acted in films or on TV for almost the same amount of time. To the jaundiced public, it was a mildly interesting story concerning the downfall of a former Playboy Playmate to be read about and forgotten in a day or two. Such is the attention span of John and Joan Q Public. JV Was Rosemarys Baby your first feature film VV Rosemarys Baby was my first feature. I got it because Mia Farrow refused to test with the actors. She didnt want to be bothered doing that menial stuff, so Roman Polanski said, By the way, how do you look in dark hair and can you look Italian I said, Well, I am Italian. He said, Id like you to play the part of Terry Fionoffrio, Angela. I said, Okay, and I played the part under Angela Dorian, my fictitious name. On the set one day he said, Angela, we cannot use the Anna Maria Alberghetti name. Can you think of an Italian name I said, How bout Victoria Vetri He said, Thats fantastic What an imagination I said, Thats my real name. He said, My God, why are you using that name of a sunken ship, The Andrea Doria I think Victoria Vetri has more of a ah, what the hell, its Italian. JV Was Playboy magazine responsible for you getting the part in Rosemarys Baby VV No. Watch Halo Wars Online Forbes'>Watch Halo Wars Online Forbes. Playboy really had nothing to do with me being in the film one way or another. Because by the time Playboy came out, I had already done the part. Because they mention that in my credits. I had 2. 6 TV shows, all lead parts, under my belt, plus Rosemarys Baby, plus movies for TV. But they somehow made it sound like they discovered me. Which upset me at the time. JV Do you think that Playboy in any way helped your career in a positive direction VV I think at one point in my career, it hindered it. I could have been a serious actress and all of the sudden it was like I was a thing, I was a commodity, I was a Bunny, I was a Playmate, and I played nothing but hookers. The types of roles that I went up for were not serious parts. I mean, Im not saying that you cant play a serious hooker. Look at what Jane Fonda did in Klute. Its changed a lot. I was one of the first actresses to do Playboy. Then Claudia Jennings did it after me. I was very close to her and felt great remorse when I lost her in a car accident. I had to entertain that night. I had to sing with a rock group and I couldnt go on stage when I found that out. We had to give people their money back. Claudia and I did a film together called Group Marriage. She was a superb actress who was coming into her own and she was a loyal friend. A very creative lady. And I think she was one of the best friends I ever had. The only person I got close to through Playboy and it was a big loss. JV From what you told before this interview, I guess youre one of the few people actually born and raised in California VV Very few. I mean, when I used to bartend between acting jobs I say, Ill give a free drink to any native Californian who can prove theyre a native. And I was the only one in the bar. JV How did you get the part in When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth VV Hammer Hammer Films, the English studio that produced a number of horror classics from the 1. They had just done a film with Rachel Welch called One Million Years BC. Theyd seen me in some film, some magazine, it wasnt Playboy, and they said, Lets do a test on her. I was obligated to Warner Brothers at the time and Francis Ford Coppola did a test of me running through the backs of the lot with a tiger bikini on panting and grunting, flaring my nostrils. Then we did another thing with me singing in front of a sky background with my guitar. They sent the test to London and Aida Young, the executive producer said, Send her over. It was shot in the Canary Islands and at Shepperton Studios. It was about six months work. It took a year and a half for the film to come out. By the time I got to the Bahamas to see the film they couldnt show it, because the colour matching was all wrong. So it took two years for the film to come out. It won an award for best special effects. JV Did you find it hard reacting to imaginary dinosaurs VV Yes, but I got used to it. Watch Double Jeopardy Online more. I have a great imagination. After a while, they gave me a focal point. Theyd say, Look up here, at this guy on a ladder and I would pretend like I saw this imaginary thing. I could see some rushes where they were putting in animation. JV In a book titled Hammer House of Horror, there are stills from When Dinosaurs Ruled the Earth which show you in the nude. Where these stills from scenes that were deleted from the version shown here domestically VV No. These were publicity shots. Because once Playboy found out they were in the Canary Islands doing a film and I was scantily clad, they sent a photographer over there. They said, Well pay you X amount of dollars to do stills because this would be good for our article Sex in the Cinema. I said, Ok. Two weeks after we were there, the director Val Guest left his wife. He was sleeping with the script supervisor. It was like you could have made a movie within a movie. Everybody was screwing around. People were skinny dipping, drinking sangria instead of tea at four in the afternoon, getting drunk on their asses and it was like party time. Three or four in the morning theyd say, You have to be up at six for a sunrise shoot Lets stay up all night The sad part was when we came back to England and there the wives are, theyve gotten letters from their husbands that have fallen in love on location saying, Its over. It was getting old anyway. Heres the wife pouting and holding the child in hand as he gets off the airplane. The director, Val Guest, comes off the plane arm in arm with the script supervisor who he fell in love with and ended up marrying, by the way. So it was like a little mini soap opera. Because you throw these people together and the English are wild and crazy once you get them in a loose environment. Roy Scheider IMDb. Personal Quote. on Bob Fosse Fosse, I think, came to a high point in his life, with an Oscar, a Tony and an Emmy, and asked himself, Do they think Im really that good They dont know Im really a sham, a hoax, a phony, a lousy human being, not much of a friend to anybody and a flop. Im covered with flop sweat. Thats an expression Bob uses a lot flop sweat.
