The trailblazing filmmaker Betty Thomas stops by THR's 'It Happened in Hollywood' podcast to reveal never-before-told secrets. Listen:
director Ivan Reitman, who thought Thomas had what it takes to tackle a Stern movie — not just any movie, but one starring the radio host as himself. One problem: Thomas had listened to Stern's show and was pretty sure she hated him. Reitman said that friction would only make the movie better.
The film used a mix of actors and non-actors — including Stern's sidekicks Robin Quivers and Fred Norris playing themselves. "Robin was really, really nervous," Thomas recalls. "I thought it was going to be a nightmare." Thomas helped Stern find his groove in the part, which required to play himself at various stages of his career — even as young as a college student. Still, the radio star, who was not accustomed to seeing himself on a screen, was highly critical of how he looked.
Thomas says she did everything she could to reassure her star, telling him, "Your eyes are so blue... Howard, you look so good."Continues Thomas, "And then he pretty much went and got a nose job right after that — and this is before we did the reshoots." The reshoots were filmed from a distance, Thomas says, making it hard to spot any noticeable changes in Stern's appearance.
