Summary
Two stars of the 1968 film adaptation of "Romeo & Juliet" have sued Paramount Pictures for more than $500 million over a nude scene they were filmed for when they were teenagers. The actors allege that director Franco Zeffirelli secretly filmed them nude or partially nude without their knowledge. They are seeking punitive damages of $100 million, but are possibly entitled to damages of more than $500 million to match the amount the film has earned since 1968.
