Animal Action
In the scene where the actress lies on the table while a spider crawls across her naked belly, prior to shooting the animal handlers conducted a rehearsal with the actress to make sure she could handle the spider. Using gentle blows with straws, the animal handlers directed the spider. Actress could ask questions and receive instructions. The rehearsal lasted about 10 minutes, after which the animal handler gently returned the spider to its container. On action, they placed the same spider on her belly, which crawled on her stomach.
Due to late notification and scheduling conflicts, American Humane did not monitor some of the spider and sheep action.
