April 3, 1958 –
The 20th Century Fox film, The Long, Hot Summer, directed by Martin Ritt, and starring Paul Newman, Joanne Woodward, Anthony Franciosa, Orson Welles, Lee Remick, and Angela Lansbury, debuted on this date.
The scorching Louisiana heat didn’t help Orson Welles’s temperament on the set. “He was having terrible difficulty living in his own skin,” said Angela Lansbury. “He was very, very heavy. We were working under dreadful conditions of heat and he was perspiring, and he seemed to have a lot of very thick make-up on.” Part of that heavy make-up was a prosthetic nose that Welles wore, something he often did for his acting roles. The heat made Welles sweat so heavily that the nose would often come unglued and ruin the shot.
