SWEET TOOTH
SWEET TOOTH
When asked about Lee Remick, her co-workers on the set of "Haywire" laughed and said one word, "chocolate." Lee loves chocolate!
Immediately after the camera stopped rolling, Lee would jump out of character and onto a chocolate bar.
"I love to eat - all the wrong things," she confessed, with Lee's favorite sinful sweet being chocolate nut fudge.
A co-worker on the set of "Wild River" said, "She went through box after box of candy during the shooting --- even relished fudge at 10 a.m.! What's more, she's a generous doll and created terrible temptations for the cast's wavering dieters."
The pretty young actress makes no effort to hide her guilty secret. "I eat candy and suffer dreadful guilt feelings," she said with a gentle smile. "My husband (Bill Colleran) knows candy is bad for me and he tries manfully to limit my intake. But I must be truthful and admit I fall off the non-caloric wagon with a bang. I also admit that I hide candy around the apartment like lost week- enders hide bottles! One night in Rome (while on her honeymoon) I sneaked into the bathroom to gulp down some delectable Italian chocolates while Bill slept. The rattle of a candy wrapper woke him and resulted in my giving up sweets for a while."
With her penchant for sweets, one wonders how Lee keeps her size 8, 34-21-34 figure. "I have no weight problems," she says. "I think mostly my figure is sheer luck and heredity." The rest of us should be so lucky!
