Maria Schneider was blindsided in Last Tango in Paris
Although playing Marlon Brando’s love interest in Last Tango in Paris helped Maria Schneider’s career, the experience wasn’t at all favorable. At the film’s debut, the late actress practically ran away screaming.
She said that Marlon Brando and Bernardo Bertolucci improvised the notorious “butter scene,” which wasn’t in the screenplay. Schneider admitted to being “humiliated” and “crying real tears” to The Huffington Post.
