Steve Martinhas responded to allegations made byMiriam Margolyes, his co-star in 1986sLittle Shop of Horrors.
Martin was undeniably brilliant, but horrid to me.
My memory is that we had a good communication as professional actors.

I remember taking EXTREME caution regarding the fake punch the same caution I would use with any similar scene.
She assured me she felt fine, and we did a few successful takes and stopped.
you’re able to watch the sequence below.

Martin noted that others were present.
The scene was supposed to include a fake punch.
Its puzzling what shes talking about.
Its not the Steve I know or anyone knows.
Hes always been professional and respectful of everyone on all of my shoots.
Oz and Martin have made four movies together:Little Shop of Horrors,Dirty Rotten Scoundrels,BowfingerandHousesitter.
