While their Sex and the City characters were the best of friends, gossip mags of the 90s and early 2000s were all over the rumors that Sarah Jessica Parker and Kim Cattrall couldn’t stand each other in real life. It’s amazing to think that, while they could act like such close buds when the cameras were rolling, they would shift instantly to completely ignoring each other between takes.
Neither of the ladies has denied the feud, though their versions of it are far tamer than those of the tabloids. Parker put the whole thing down to long days and hard work all banking up and creating stress. In conclusion, she boldly stated she has no regrets for the way she’s treated anyone.
Freddie Prinze Jr. vs. Kiefer Sutherland
Complaints started flowing from Freddie Prinze Jr. almost immediately after he joined the popular drama, 24. While you’d think he’d be happy to have scored a role on this long-running series, the complaints continued until he finally left the show. So what exactly was his problem? Well, it’s probably best if we let Freddie tell you himself. The following excerpt is from an interview he did with ABC News.
“I did 24, and it was terrible. I hated every moment of it. Kiefer was the most unprofessional dude in the world. That’s not me talking trash. I’d say it to his face. I think everyone that’s worked with him has said that.”
Meryl Streep vs. Dustin Hoffman
Filming a movie isn’t easy, so it’s only natural to expect a few hiccups along the way. However, if you’re working with talented professionals like Dustin Hoffman and Meryl Streep, you could be forgiven for assuming a feud between your cast members would be one stressor you wouldn’t have to worry about. Unfortunately, this wasn’t the case for the director of Kramer vs. Kramer.
A biography written about Streep revealed that Hoffman was pretty gruff with the actress when she made suggestions about her character. According to the book, he would go so far as to snap at her and make harsh comments about her lover who had recently passed away. If there’s truth to the tale then that’s pretty rotten behavior.
Joan Crawford and Bette Davis... Again!
Bette Davis is back! While this is a whole new feud, it started, once again, with one star-making a move on another. In this instance though, it wasn’t an actress competing for the attention of Bette’s love interest. Rather, it was an actress making a move on Bette herself! Joan Crawford didn’t consider gender as being relevant to love. The bisexual star made a move on Bette Davis but didn’t count on how hardcore the rejection would get.
So many rumors flew around about Joan Crawford and her feuds and sexual conquests. While it’s hard to say how much of it was true and how much was exaggerated, she did end up embroiled in a pretty bitter, and quite public battle with Bette Davis.
Lucy Liu vs. Bill Murray
Fans of lovable and quirky comedic superstar, Bill Murray, will find it hard to believe that he could ever have a feud with anyone. Well, we’re about to burst your bubble because not only did Bill have a tiff with his Charlie’s Angels co-star, Lucy Liu, he kind of started it! Murray apparently stopped a scene they were shooting together and had a word or two to say to Liu about her performance.
Here’s what he was quoted as saying: “I get why you’re here, and you’ve got talent...” Sounds nice so far right? Here’s the kicker though: “...but what in the h*** are you doing here? You can’t act!” If you’re thinking, “well, he said two nice things first, that’s not so bad,” let us put it in context for you: the first comment was directed at Cameron Diaz, the second one at Drew Barrymore. Liu copped the rest. Brutal.
