The Unexpected Reality Behind Hollywood's Steamiest Scenes

Kate Winslet and James Gandolfini, "Romance and Cigarettes"

Director John Turturro thought things were getting a little too heated during the couple's sex scenes, so he actually had them film them separately. "So I decided to take James out of the scene and I put Kate on a big bouncy ball and just had her bounce and look around. The problem was how to connect them so when it was James' turn, he pretended to have sex and I threw Kate's wig around...so if you watch the scene, they're completely free, but they're not in the same room together."
