somelikeiticecold:“During the final days of shooting Mark wanted a little something extra, dance-wise, at the end of the film. Fred and I were poised at the top of a flight of stairs and Mark said, “As you come down the steps, I want you to break into a little dance.”This request did not go over very well with either Fred or me. Mark knew we always had to rehearse a dance no matter how brief, before performing it for the camera. But Mark was firm; he wanted a bit more dance, as a “Ta da!” before the fadeout. I quietly spoke to Fred. “Anything you want to do is okay. Just whip me around with your hand, and I’ll follow you.” “- Ginger: My Story -- source link
