SICK STICK

July 23, 2007 -- MARIA Schneider - who was only 19 when she, Marlon Brando and a stick of butter filmed the world's most infamous sex scene in "Last Tango in Paris" - is still haunted by it to this day. "That scene wasn't in the original script. The truth is it was Marlon who came up with the idea . . . I should have called my agent or had my lawyer come to the set because you can't force someone to do some thing that isn't in the script," Schneider, now 55, tells London's Daily Mail. As they shot it, "I was crying real tears. I felt humiliated and, to be honest, I felt a little raped . . . Thankfully, there was just one take." She adds: "I never use butter to cook anymore - only olive oil."

Didn't Schneider publicly admitted she slept with like hundreds of men and women, went on orgies or something and was on all kinds of drugs? And yet she is depressed by a perverted SIMULATED sex scene. Shouldn't she be more embarrassed for spilling out her dirtiest secrets? Foolish woman.

I'm taking a cynical view of the entire thing. Many actors do or say something in a movie that they regret later (or pretend to regret). Then they try to distance themselves from the finished project. I didn't buy it back then and I don't buy it now.

She adds: "I never use butter to cook anymore - only olive oil."

This sounded comical.
