Real Life Injuries That Made Their Way Into Movies (9 pics)
Making a movie isn't always fun. Sometimes things can go wrong and bones can break. These are the actors that got injured on set and toughed it out so that they could make the best movie possible.
Fred Astaire – Follow the Fleet
In the 1936 musical Follow the Fleet, Astaire and Rogers performed “Let’s Face the Music and Dance” in one long three-minute shot. Rogers was wearing a very heavily beaded dress for the number and Astaire recalls, “I got the flying sleeve smack on the jaw and partly in the eye. I kept on dancing, although somewhat maimed.” Astaire completed the number in a daze (which you can sort of tell by his drooping head) all the while, “ducking and dodging that sleeve.” And after 20 more undazed takes, everyone decided the first one was the best. So Astaire’s injury made it into the final film, sleeve whip and all.
