 Sean Young (I) (qv) was originally cast as Tess Trueheart but was  fired after a few days of filming by Warren Beatty (qv).  Afterwards Young publicly accused Beatty of firing her because she  "wouldnt sleep with him" though Deborah Ruf,  Charlie Korsmo (qv)s Mom (who played "The Kid") later disputed  this, saying that "the rumor was that she had become too demanding  and they just decided not to put up with it". Beatty issued a  statement saying, "I made a mistake casting her in the part and I  felt very badly about it."
