The stars of 1968's "Romeo & Juliet," Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting, have filed a new lawsuit over their underage nude scene in the film.
The "Digital Photos" refer to images taken during the filming of "Romeo & Juliet" by director Franco Zeffirelli that featured both actors nude while underage that are included in the 2023 release "had been digitally enhanced such that, unlike the Original Work, the Digital Release depicted their private areas in such high detail that the gratuitous display was lewd and lascivious and demeaning to them."
The actors are seeking "damages in a sum according to proof that is adequate to compensate Hussey and Whiting for the general injuries suffered as hereinabove alleged," including "emotional distress, embarrassment, humiliation, and mental anguish."
