Lovers and Other Strangers

from SOM 3/3/98

When Ned and Alexis finally made love, Nancy Lee Grahn was 8 months pregnant, so a body double was brought in to make the scene work technically, explains Wally Kurth. "Just rolling around in bed and having too roll on top of one another was pretty hilarious," Kurth explains. "But when they went in for close-up, and we did a lot of kissing, (Nancy's) belly didn't get in the way for that," Kurth explains. "After Nancy and I did all this kissing for what seemed like a couple of hours, they said,'Okay, bring in the body double.' A wowmn came in with a wig on t look like Nancy, and when she hopped into bed, I said'Hi, I'm Wally nice to meet you.' And (before long) I'm putting my arm down her arm and touching her back, kissing her neck, etc. It's a great job!" Kurth laughs.
