Olivia Hussey and Leonard Whiting, stars of the 1968 adaptation of William Shakespeare’s famous romantic tragedy play “Romeo and Juliet,” are suing Paramount Pictures and The Criterion Collection, a home-video distribution company, over the alleged “digitally enhanced” 2023 re-release of the film, Us Weekly reported.
The point of contention stems from a brief nude scene acted out by Mr. Whiting and Ms. Hussey—who played the film’s titular characters when they were 16 and 15, respectively.
