[As leading-lady in Jack Spurlock—Prodigal, Hollywood actress Ruth Taylor (1905-1984), star of the original version of Gentleman Prefer Blondes, and mother of comedian Buck Henry] had to eat an onion in one of the scenes, and she begged Director Carl Harbaugh to camouflage a turnip instead. But a "retake" was necessary, and as there had been only one turnip provided, she was obliged to eat an onion. She canceled a dinner engagement for the evening. Now they have a supply of camouflage onions at the Fox studio.
