2. Gene Hackman and Anjelica Huston/Wes Anderson
Gene Hackman is one of the greatest actors of the late 20th century. He won Academy Awards for his performances in The French Connection and Unforgiven. Perhaps it was because he’s such a legend that he felt he could be a jerk on the set of The Royal Tenenbaums. According to co-star Anjelica Huston, she was afraid of Hackman and felt as though she needed to protect director Wes Anderson from him. She told a story about how Hackman had told Anderson to pull up his pants and act like a man. Hackman apparently also used a four-letter word (and it doesn’t begin with f or s) to refer to the director.
