I do recall hearing some stuff about her being difficult...where all values of difficult equal, serious about her craft. But these stories also came out at the same time she was in ugly, ugly battle with John Heard over their child. So, yeah. Take that for what it is worth.
You all gonna be here when I wake up?

I read somewhere that Heard called her on the set of Homicide like fifty times a day. That'd make me...difficult, too.

I think in that situation I'd have given them fodder for a "ripped from the headlines" casefile.

Seriously. He was one of the first people to be labeled a 'stalker'...looking in her windows at all hours, going through her trash, public screaming fits, making stuff up to try and wrench their child from her and telling someone, who ratted to the Enquirer (so take THAT for what it's worth) that he didn't really want custody, since he was so famous and busy, but wouldn't let her have it...really crazy stuff.
All this came on the heels of Altered States, a set, on which. he was so horrible to his co-stars that the film nearly didn't get made.
It bothers me that I like his performance in the mini-series of Dune (which was on cable, so...TOPIC!) because I would happily just ignore him otherwise.
t /shameless gossip, who really should think less about such things.

Wait, John Heard or William Hurt? The latter was in Altered States. The former was...not.

Heard is ML's ex. Although William Hurt has sort of a bad reputation as well, they're not the same guy. But it was extra nice(like a thing that's not) of Fontana to lay that all on her. But despite his undeniable writing and producing talents I don't think I'll ever forgive him for hiring Michael Michele and bragging that he'd "Finally found a female detective America wants to fuck." Just, yuck, you know?

Oh loward. Embarrassing conflation! My mind, it's a mixy thing. Thanks for the straightening. If I'm going to be an unrepentant gossip, I should at LEAST get the people right.

Well, once upon a time they WERE really hard to tell apart, but then Heard put on a bit of weight.
