Actress Courtney Thorne-Smith recently revealed an uncomfortable experience from her past in which she was asked to wear a revealing outfit at a young age for a film role. The now 56-year-old actress, known for her roles on popular TV shows like Melrose Place and Ally McBeal, spoke about feeling "trapped" in the situation.
Thorne-Smith did not disclose the name of the film in which the incident occurred, but she did mention that it was one of her first movies at the age of 17. She was cast alongside a man in his thirties who played her romantic interest. While discussing the incident on her podcast, Still the Place, with her former Melrose Place co-stars Daphne Zuniga and Laura Leighton, Thorne-Smith recalled feeling uncomfortable with the situation.
"We did sleep together in the script, and I wore one of his button-down shirts afterwards," she shared. However, upon arriving on set, Thorne-Smith found a "sexy negligee" in her room, which she was asked to wear for the scene. This made her uncomfortable, as she had a no-nudity clause in her contract and was concerned that the garment might reveal too much.
Feeling uneasy, Thorne-Smith approached the director to express her concerns. She also mentioned that her agent was present on set for additional support, which gave her the confidence to stand up for herself. However, she did recall feeling "trapped" in the situation, as the producer had told her that the whole crew was talking about her being "difficult."
Looking back on the incident, Thorne-Smith is grateful that she was able to stand up for herself at such a young age. She credits her ability to advocate for herself to the support of her agent and the strength that she found within herself. The actress has since gone on to have a successful career in both TV and film, with her breakout role being on Melrose Place in 1992.
Thorne-Smith remained on the show for five years before moving on to other projects. She has also appeared in a number of films, including Lucas, alongside Winona Ryder, Corey Haim, and Charlie Sheen, and has had recurring roles on popular TV shows like Two and a Half Men.
Off-screen, Thorne-Smith is happily married to marketing agency owner Roger Fishman, and they have a son together. While she may have faced challenges in her career, Thorne-Smith has shown resilience and strength, and continues to thrive in the entertainment industry.
