noah80 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Genevieve Bujold has worked with a host of famous actors and says she got along well with most of them. "There might be a couple that I might think, 'Oh, it was difficult,' but I don't want to talk about that," she says. "But even then I kind of zigzagged my way out of having to deal with it, because anything that's negative, I don't want." She recalls doing a film with a leading man she disliked so much that she couldn't do close-ups with him. She did them looking at the director instead."He didn't get along with me," she says about her co-star, whom she would not name. "He kept always like 'Don't walk so fast, don't do this, are you going to wear those boots? Those are dy-ke boots.' Oh come on. Back off."this excerpt is from an article in 2013 from http://o.canada.com/entertainment/movies/still-mine-actress-genevieve-bujold-in-a-state-of-grace/Any idea who Bujold is talking about?

darkblue Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 No idea, but I'll guess Charlton Heston (Earthquake, 1974). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfpcc2 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 Well, Genevieve Bujold has worked with some of the following actors: Richard Burton: (Ann Of A Thousand Days) James Cann: (Another Man Another Chance, a Western so boots Might have been involved) Jack Lemmon: (Alex And The Gypsy) Alan Bates: (King Of Hearts) Michael Douglas (Coma) Kris Kristofferson (Trouble In Mind, which is my favorite film) Keith Carridine: (Trouble In Mind, Choose Me, The Moderns) Jeremy Irons: (Dead Ringers) My Guess is James Caan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noah80 Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 It could not have been Elliott Gould. They made a cute couple in The Last Flight of Noah's Ark (1980) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopBilled Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 My guess is also James Caan. She definitely would have worn boots in a western. She also costarred with Christopher Reeve in MONSIGNOR, though I doubt it was him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfpcc2 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 She was almost Captain Janeway on Star Trek Voyager. She was hired for the role but after the first day of shooting the producer realized they need someone else. They then brought in Kate Mulgrew. The same thing happened on Firefly. Rebecca Gayeheart was originally cast as Inarra but it didn't work out after the first day of shooting. In came Moreena Baccarin, (who was reciently nominated for an Emmy for Homeland.)

TopBilled Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I really like Bujold. My favorite film of hers is probably COMA. She deserves a tribute-- either a primetime spotlight or a SUTS day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casablancalover2 Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 I believe it was Cliff Robertson. They worked together in Obsession (1976) with John Lithgow (an early role for him) and I had read the production was very tense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lzcutter Posted March 28, 2014 Share Posted March 28, 2014 She also starred with Robert Shaw in a 1970s fun pirate film, *Swashbuckler*. I wish TCM could get the rights to it. I remember it being lots of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCM is airing a batch of swashbuckler adventures in June. Guess we'll have to settle for those! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noah80 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 I'm a big fan of Coma (1978). Last year marked the 35th anniversary of the film so I created this image as a tribute to the film and Genevieve Bujold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfpcc2 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Did you seen the AMC remake about a year and a half ago? It featured James Woods, Richard Dreyfuss, and Lauren Ambrose, (Six Feet Under) in the Genevieve role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noah80 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 I did not see the AMC version but I thought there was no need for a remake. Crichton has passed away so he never got to see this remake. But I wonder what Bujold thought about this new version. I've read Robin Cook's novel. It was okay. It's time to get Genevieve Bujold on TCM so she can talk about this with Robert Osborne! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sfpcc2 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 In the last fifteen years Genevieve Bujold has small parts in two very good films: Sex And A Girl, and Last Night. These are worth seeking out. I think her best work was Choose Me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dargo2 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hmmmm..."Choose Me". I don''t remember a thing about it OTHER than really liking it after catching it during its initial release back in '84. (...note to self: seek this one out for a revisit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year marked the 35th anniversary of the film so I created this image as a tribute to the film and Genevieve Bujold. It works on so many levels. It's a medical drama, it's a horror film, it's a suspense thriller-- all rolled into one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noah80 Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 For me, it was the first movie where a woman is the heroine (without super power) thus a role model. A rare treat. Here's what Genevieve Bujold had to say about Coma:Genevieve Bujold: Coma was also great. I spent three days following a woman surgeon it was kind of traumatic and [director] Michael Crichton is a such a brilliant, intelligent man. It was a very kind of speedy ride. Very well done. Michael [Douglas] was totally professional he had just come off The Streets of San Francisco, which really put him close to the people, and he had this charisma. There were people everywhere [around him]. I very much enjoyed being Susan Wheeler. And it's really her movie. I felt comfortable leading that movie.

noah80 Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 I guess all those people are there for Michael Douglas and not Genevieve Bujold! filming Coma in Massachusetts in 1977 with director Michael Crichton and Michael Douglas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sepiatone Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 I guess we'll have to watch those movies you listed and try to notice where she's looking during the close-ups. Sepiatone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakeem Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 She co-starred with Clint Eastwood in "Tightrope" (1984), which was filmed mostly in New Orleans -- and he wasn't the director for that one. But he has a reputation for being easygoing on most sets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
