The actors who played Romeo and Juliet in Franco Zeffirelli’s 1968 film sued Paramount Pictures for child abuse over their brief nude scene. The suit stated that Zeffirelli, who died in 2019, cajoled Olivia Hussey 15, and Leonard Whiting 16 into performing the scene, telling them without it “the picture would fail”. “Defendants were dishonest and secretly filmed the nude or partially nude minor children….exploitation of minors for profit,” the suit says.
