During the shot where she is flipping back and forth in bed from the waist up, poor Linda seemed to have hurt herself during the shoot…and I think that's Ellen Burstyn coming to Linda's aid at the end of the shot.

Yep. She goes into detail on the FOG documentary and that is Burstyn rushing to her rescue.

Poor girl.  To her credit, she showed she was willing to go the distance physically to get certain scenes done.

[fatherbowdern]

She indeed did. In fact, she speaks of her permanent back injury from making that very scene. She said her parents were not the type to sue, but it has to suck when you're back hurts a lot years after. She credits being a vegan and other healthy lifestyle habits helps with her back problems.

I don't know if I could ever see myself as a vegan (I am a straight up carnivore…LOL!) but Linda has such a wonderful way of seeming to just take things in stride….finding the good out of the bad.   She seems like such a beautiful person.

The authenticity of her pain always made that scene a little more daunting.

Same goes for Burstyn when she was yanked to the floor with the piano wire harness. Of course, the had to edit out the words, “Fuck you, assholes!”
