Bonus video! Did these Hollywood-types really eat spaghetti with their hands?
Did director Joe Pasternak and actor Anthony Perkins REALLY eat spaghetti with their hands? In this week's bonus video, we're tackling an extremely bizarre Hollywood mystery. In a documentary about MGM, Esther Williams (the synchronized swimming lady) tosses an off-hand comment about Pasternak putting on quite a show in the commissary; and it's oddly close to an accusation about Perkins that appeared in a variety of gossip magazines. My theory is that Pasternak was a prankster and Perkins was the victim of a hostile publicity department, but I am willing to entertain further theories!
