Geena Davis says Bill Murray harassed her on the set of Quick Change: 'I should have walked out'

"I could have avoided that treatment if I'd known how to react or what to do during the audition. But, you know, I was so non-confrontational that I just didn't…"

Geena Davis is opening up about her negative experience working with Bill Murray on the 1990 film Quick Change.
In her new memoir, titled Dying of Politeness, the Oscar-winning actress wrote that Murray insisted upon using a massage device called The Thumper on her despite her refusal when they first met in a hotel suite, The Times reports. Davis said that during filming she was waiting on wardrobe when Murray began screaming at her for being late. He allegedly continued to yell as he followed her from her trailer to set in front of a large crowd of cast, crew, and onlookers.
"That was bad," Davis told The Times. "The way he behaved at the first meeting… I should have walked out of that or profoundly defended myself, in which case I wouldn't have got the part."

Davis starred opposite Murray as his girlfriend Phyllis Potter in the crime drama, which also starred Randy Quaid, Jason Robards, and Stanley Tucci. In addition to playing the lead role, Murray also served as a co-director and producer on the film.

"I could have avoided that treatment if I'd known how to react or what to do during the audition," she continued. "But, you know, I was so non-confrontational that I just didn't…"
The actress shared that she regrets blaming her younger self for the incidents, as it was Murray who allegedly engaged in the inappropriate behavior. "There's no point in regretting things, and yet, here I was regretting," she shared. "And yes, exactly, it wasn't my fault."
EW reached out to a legal representative for Murray but did not immediately hear back.
This isn't the first time that Murray has been accused of inappropriate behavior on set. In April, Searchlight Pictures suspended the production of his film Being Mortal after an alleged incident with another cast member. The movie — which is written, directed, and produced by Aziz Ansari — has been shuttered since.

"I did something I thought was funny, and it wasn't taken that way," Murray told CNBC back in April. "The company, the movie studio, wanted to do the right thing, so they wanted to check it all out, investigate it, and so they stopped the production."
Dying of Politeness is available now via HarperOne.

New details have emerged about Bill Murray's alleged inappropriate behavior on the set of Being Mortal, comedian Aziz Ansari's adaptation of Atul Gawande's book of the same name.
A report published by Puck on Monday claims that Murray kissed and straddled a younger female production staffer on set. The woman's name was withheld, but the report noted that it was not Murray's fellow costar Keke Palmer, as has been speculated. Multiple sources alleged to Puck that it occurred near a bed that was part of production. Murray, who reportedly felt that the staffer had been flirting with him, also allegedly kissed her on her mouth, though the two were masked due to COVID-19 protocols.
The woman, who was "horrified" at the incident, reportedly filed a complaint. A second staffer who witnessed the incident filed a report too, according to Puck, which led the studio behind the film, Searchlight, to suspend production, though a reason why was never indicated to cast and crew.

The actor, who reportedly chalked up the incident to a miscommunication, allegedly resolved to remedy the situation. The two reportedly came to a settlement after some time, with Murray paying the staffer "just north of $100,000," per Puck. The woman also reportedly agreed to a non-disclosure agreement and to waive any legal claims made against the producers, Searchlight, and parent company Disney.

Representatives for Murray, Ansari, and Searchlight did not immediately respond to EW's request for comment.
Murray addressed the allegations for the first time back in April, but did not elaborate on any details of the complaint. "I did something I thought was funny, and it wasn't taken that way," Murray told CNBC. "The company, the movie studio, wanted to do the right thing, so they wanted to check it all out, investigate it, and so they stopped the production."
He continued, "But as of now, we're talking and we're trying to make peace with each other… We're both professionals. We like each other's work… and if you can't really get along and trust each other, there's no point in going further working together or making a movie as well."
Geena Davis recently shared her own negative experience with Murray, accusing the actor of harassment in her new memoir, Dying of Politeness. Davis claims that Murray screamed at her privately and in front of cast and crew on the 1990 film Quick Change, which Murray co-directed. She wrote that he also allegedly used a massage device on her without her permission during her audition for the film.

Lucy Liu has also accused Murray of hurling insults at her on set of their 2000 film Charlie's Angels.

Over a decade after the incident occurred, Lucy Liu is speaking out about her clash with Bill Murray on the set of Charlie's Angels.
During an interview with the Los Angeles Times' Asian Enough podcast, Liu shed her normally private persona to revisit memories of the conflict, which recently resurfaced and went viral thanks to a tweet from a former production assistant.

According to Liu, the altercation stemmed from a scene that had been tweaked without Murray's knowledge. She went on to detail how, while filming the scene, Murray began to insult her.

"I won't get into the specifics, but it kept going on and on. I was, like, 'Wow, he seems like he's looking straight at me,'" said Liu, who at the time was just beginning to break into Hollywood thanks to her role on Ally McBeal. When she asked Murray point-blank if he was talking to her, she realized he clearly was, "because then it started to become a one-on-one communication."
Calling Murray's language "inexcusable and unacceptable," the actress confirmed she stood up for herself.
"No matter how low on the totem pole you may be or wherever you came from, there's no need to condescend or to put other people down," she continued. "And I would not stand down, and nor should I have."
A representative for Murray didn't immediately respond to EW's request for comment.

While Liu acknowledged that she's crossed paths with her former costar over the years and has had amicable conversations, she doesn't regret her actions at the time.
"I'm not going to sit there and be attacked," she told the podcast, sharing a story from her childhood about how her immigrant mother was talked down to in a store because she couldn't speak English. "I don't know if it goes back to what happened to my mom in the store. I don't want to be that person that is not going to speak up for myself and stand by the only thing that I have, which is my dignity and self-respect."
Murray gave his side of the story to the Times of London back in 2009, saying, "Look, I will dismiss you completely if you are unprofessional and working with me… When our relationship is professional, and you're not getting that done, forget it."
Liu, for her part, recalled seeing the story coming out in the press when the incident initially happened and remembered how she was automatically painted as the problem.
"I didn't understand how it got flipped when I had nothing to do with instigating it or creating that platform of confrontation or anxiety," she admitted, noting the implications stayed with her throughout the years as her career evolved. "So even though it's been decades, it's something that obviously I remember very intimately and have not forgotten."

Feuds
Murray has been known for his mood swings, leading Dan Aykroyd to refer to him as "The Murricane".[68][97][98] Murray has said of his reputation: "I remember a friend said to me a while back: 'You have a reputation.' And I said: 'What?' And he said: 'Yeah, you have a reputation of being difficult to work with.' But I only got that reputation from people I didn't like working with, or people who didn't know how to work, or what work is. Jim, Wes and Sofia, they know what it is to work, and they understand how you're supposed to treat people."[99][100][101]

In the book Live from New York: An Uncensored History of Saturday Night Live, as Told By Its Stars, Writers and Guests, Chevy Chase recalls being confronted by Murray shortly before an SNL broadcast in 1978, in which Chase had returned to guest host. The issue, likely to do with Chase's insistence on doing the "Weekend Update" segment that had been taken over by Jane Curtin, led to Murray and Chase trading insults, with Murray telling Chase to go have sex with Jacqueline Carlin, Chase's wife at the time, while Chase commented that Murray's face looked "like something Neil Armstrong had landed on". The argument eventually turned physical, with SNL cast members Jane Curtin, Laraine Newman, and Gilda Radner witnessing the altercation.[102][103] Murray later said of the incident, "It was an Oedipal thing, a rupture. Because we all felt mad he had left us, and somehow I was the anointed avenging angel, who had to speak for everyone. But Chevy and I are friends now. It's all fine."[104] The two later starred together in Caddyshack in 1980.

According to Den of Geek, Murray did not get along well with Sean Young during the production of Stripes and has refused to work with her again.[105]

Murray has said in interviews that he and film director Richard Donner did not get along well while filming Scrooged, stating that they would disagree with each other.[106][107][108][109] Donner said of Murray: "He's superbly creative, but occasionally difficult – as difficult as any actor."[110]

Both Murray and Richard Dreyfuss have confirmed in separate interviews that they did not get along with each other during the making of What About Bob?[108][111] In addition, the film's producer Laura Ziskin recalled having a disagreement with Murray that led him to toss her into a lake.[97][112][113][114] Ziskin confirmed in 2003, "Bill also threatened to throw me across the parking lot and then broke my sunglasses and threw them across the parking lot. I was furious and outraged at the time, but having produced a dozen movies, I can safely say it is not common behavior."[112][113][115] Dreyfuss later alleged in 2019 that Murray screamed at him while he was intoxicated and told him, "Everyone hates you! You are tolerated!" and then threw an ashtray at him.[116] Although they have not crossed paths since the release of the film, Dreyfuss confirmed in a 2020 interview that he has forgiven Murray.[117]

Murray also had a falling out with film director and longtime collaborator Harold Ramis during the production of Groundhog Day. According to screenwriter Danny Rubin, "They were like two brothers who weren't getting along." Apparently, they had such intense creative differences that one day Ramis grabbed Murray by the shirt collar and threw him against a wall. As a result, Groundhog Day ultimately served as the final film collaboration between Murray and Ramis,[118] although they did take part in 2009's Ghostbusters: The Video Game. Murray eventually reconciled with Ramis just before Ramis' death in February 2014.[119][120][121][122]

During the making of Charlie's Angels, Lucy Liu allegedly threw punches at Murray after he told her that she could not act.[123] Murray claims, however, that he and Liu had only an argument rather than a feud and that they have "made peace" since then.[124] Film director McG, who directed Charlie's Angels, alleged in 2009 that Murray headbutted him.[125][126] Murray has denied ever doing so.[127][128]

Lost in Translation director Sofia Coppola said that the central scene of Scarlett Johansson and Murray lying on the bed together took multiple takes because the actors did not seem to be getting along. She eventually stopped for the day and started again the next morning. Despite this, Coppola stated that Murray was a lot of fun to work with on the production.[129]

Anjelica Huston recalled having a feud with Murray during the making of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou.[130]

In April 2022, production of Being Mortal was suspended after Murray was accused of unspecified "inappropriate behavior".[131] It was later reported that Murray had allegedly straddled a female production assistant and kissed her on the mouth, causing her to file an official complaint.[132]

Seth Green says Bill Murray dropped him in a trash can backstage at 'SNL' when he was 9

Seth Green says Bill Murray dropped him in a trash can backstage at SNL when he was 9

"I was horrified," Green recalled. "I ran away, hid under the table in my dressing room and just cried."

Seth Green may have only met Bill Murray once — but once was more than enough for the Robot Chicken co-creator.
During a recent appearance on the YouTube show Good Mythical Morning, Green accused Murray of hoisting him into the air "upside down" and dropping him into a trash can when he was 9 years old. Green, now 48, said the altercation occurred backstage on Saturday Night Live, where he had been tapped to appear in a Christmas-themed sketch, and Murray was hosting.
While in the green room, Green said, Murray "saw me sitting on the arm of this chair and made a big fuss about me being in 'his' seat. And I was like, 'That is absurd. I am sitting on the arm of this couch. There are several lengths of this sofa. Kindly F off.' And he was like, 'That's my chair.'"

Green recalled being "indignant" at what he saw as a "power play" by Murray and said that when he refused to move, "[Murray] picked me up by my ankles" and held him upside down.
"He dangled me over a trash can, and he was like, 'The trash goes in the trash can,'" Green continued. "And I was screaming, and I swung my arms, flailed wildly, [made] full contact with his balls, full contact. He dropped me in the trash can, the trash can falls over. I was horrified. I ran away, hid under the table in my dressing room, and just cried."

Representatives for Murray, 72, did not immediately respond to EW's request for comment on Green's remarks.
Green also said that while he had "never been so embarrassed in my life," he ultimately regained his composure with the help of some SNL cast members. "I went and did the bit, and we have never seen each other since," he said, referring to Murray.

Murray, a former SNL cast member himself, has long cultivated an image as an actor who can be hilarious, affecting, and eccentric — both on screen and off. But in recent days, he has been in the news for allegations of inappropriate behavior on the sets of two films: Being Mortal, which suspended production earlier this year, and Quick Change, a 1990 comedy costarring Geena Davis.
Former SNL cast member Rob Schneider also said in an interview this week that Murray "hated" the cast of the sketch show, including Adam Sandler and the late Chris Farley, when he returned to host in the '90s. Reps for Murray didn't respond to EW's requests for comment about those recent headlines.

Keke Palmer wants Aziz Ansari to salvage Being Mortal following Bill Murray complaints

The actress contends Ansari would need to do a "major rewrite" in the wake of the Murray controversy.
By Jessica WangOctober 16, 2022 at 05:08 PM EDT






Keke Palmer wants to finish production on Being Mortal, comedian Aziz Ansari's embattled directorial debut adapted from Atul Gawande's book of the same name.
Searchlight Pictures suspended production on the dramedy in April after a staffer filed a complaint against star Bill Murray that alleged inappropriate behavior. While she didn't explicitly reference her costar, Palmer told Variety that she hoped Ansari would be able to complete the "amazing film" at some point, which she presumed would require a "major rewrite" in the wake of the headlines about Murray.
"If somebody could figure it out, it would be Aziz," Palmer said at the Academy Museum Gala in Los Angeles on Saturday, sharing that she does not know if the film will be completed. "Obviously, we got cut short at a certain point but I will say that I am pretty devastated. It's an amazing film. If there is some way to be able to complete, salvage it, I would want to do it."

Ansari, Palmer said without referencing the controversy, "would probably have to do a major rewrite, but I know what we got was gold."

Details about the incident recently emerged in a report published by Puck earlier this month. Multiple sources claimed that Murray kissed and straddled a younger female production staffer on set. Murray, who reportedly felt that the staffer had been flirting with him, also allegedly kissed the staffer on her mouth, though the two were masked due to COVID-19 protocols.
The unnamed woman and a second staffer who witnessed the incident both filed complaints, which led Searchlight to suspend production, though a reason why was never indicated to cast and crew, per the report. Murray, who reportedly chalked up the incident to a miscommunication, and the woman ultimately came to a settlement with the former paying the latter "just north of $100,000."

Representatives for Murray, Ansari, and Searchlight have not respond to EW's request for comment about the report.

In April, Murray addressed the allegations but did not elaborate on any details of the complaint. "I did something I thought was funny, and it wasn't taken that way," the actor told CNBC. "The company, the movie studio, wanted to do the right thing, so they wanted to check it all out, investigate it, and so they stopped the production."
"But as of now, we're talking and we're trying to make peace with each other," he said. "We're both professionals. We like each other's work… and if you can't really get along and trust each other, there's no point in going further working together or making a movie as well."
Murray has also been making headlines for accusations of inappropriate behavior on set of Quick Change, a 1990 comedy costarring Geena Davis, and Saturday Night Live. Davis claimed that Murray screamed at her privately and in front of cast and crew on set of the film and used a massage device on her without her permission during her audition for the film, while Seth Green alleged that Murray dropped him into a trashcan backstage on SNL when he was 9.
