EKLAND GAVE DIRECTOR THE BUM RUSH OVER NUDITY SCENE

Swedish actress BRITT EKLAND drove director ROBIN HARDY crazy when she refused to bare her bottom in cult movie THE WICKER MAN. The blonde beauty famously used a double for the saucy scene in the 1973 horror film - but Hardy has finally revealed the lengths he went to film the shot. He recalls, "I told Britt that she looked perfectly alright, but what on earth can you say to a woman who thinks her ass looks like a ski slope. I tried telling her again, but it's hardly the director's role is it? "The film was made in Scotland so we trawled Glasgow's strip clubs trying to find a woman who looked like her from behind. "Eventually, we found someone but the manager made us promise to have her back by the evening as she was his best girl. I gave him my word, she came back with us and the scene was shot. "I was horrified to realise five days later that she hadn't gone back to Glasgow and the crew had kept her as a companion."
