Ali, I wasn't there, so obviously I have exactly no knowledge as to whether this is true or not. But the rumor I have heard is that AH was better-liked than SMG on the set, and it annoyed SMG. I haven't heard about any direct fights, though.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Too eccentric, or two cutesy, or something else?
The film is basically nothing but two hours of pseudo-intellectual navel gazing. It's like The Matrix done as a fluffy romantic comedy with none of the snazzy leather or action scenes.

I know nothing but rumors about the latter, but Alyson being better-liked is pretty definite. However, having briefly met her and experienced firsthand the aura of sweetness and good cheer the lady radiates, I'd imagine that she ends up being better-liked than everyone else in just about every situation she finds herself in.

I do believe in killing the messenger, you know why? Because it sends a message. ~ Damon Salvatore
see...i've heard that AH isn't the angel that everyone likes to make her out to be and SMG isn't the bitch that everyone makes her out to be.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
So you're saying that AH and SMG are normal, average people, like the rest of us?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
And are much thinner than most of us.

See, and I always heard that the "not an angel" quality was more along the lines of her Ameican Pie character, not in terms of niceness. She did date Marilyn Manson's drummer before AD, after all.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Joss has said that Aly's sexiness was something he had to incorporate into Willow's character.
Incidentally, I wasn't saying SMG was a bitch. She's famously private, and it was pretty clear from interviews that she withdrew quite a bit during the course of the show's production and isolated herself. She didn't got to AH and AD's wedding. She didn't go to the wrap party, or the theatrical showing of the musical. I doubt she was going to the Shakespeare readings at Joss' house.
I just watched the documentary on the DVD of The Forbidden Zone. I didn't know Susan Tyrell and Herve Villechaize were lovers! "I knew when I saw him that I wanted to fuck a midget." - Susan Tyrell.
