Oliver Reed is
the only one of the five leads that has stayed famous throughout the
years. He also experienced personal difficulties, as his star status
slowly faded in the late 70's. In 1987 he made a film called Castaway,
which is considered one of his (very) few good ones in a decade when he
starred in over 20 movies. Not until year 2000 did he get what could
have been a come back with Ridley Scott's Gladiator (picture), hadn't it been for
the fact that he died filming it. The film script had to be changed and
a body double was used in some scenes to make the story work. |
