This star WON'T work with 'stalker' Steven Spielberg after director 'secretly filmed' him

Hollywood is full of terrible tales of directors taking advantage of hopeful young stars. Clash of the Titans icon Harry Hamlin recalled an unfortunate encounter with Steven Spielberg back in 1978. It was for one of Hollywood’s most iconic action blockbusters, Raiders of the Lost Ark. Hamlin says he was tricked into being secretly filmed and what happened ensured he could never work with Spielberg in the future. Happily, though, it’s rather more of an excruciatingly embarrassing Tinseltown tale than yet another horrifying one.

Raiders hit cinemas in 1981 and reconfirmed Harrison’s Ford’s status as one of the biggest stars of his generation.

But back in 1978, Spielberg and producer George Lucas were still searching for their leading man and called in young hopeful Hamlin to audition opposite actress Stephanie Zimbalist, who was being considered for the female lead Marion.

Hamlin told Page Six Spielberg apologised and said Lucas was running late. The directed asked the pair to go into the production studio’s kitchen and make a chocolate cake.

So far, so bizarre…

Hamlin added: “I’d been riffing on how annoying Steven Spielberg was to my friend Amy, so hey, guess what?

“I didn’t get the part, OK, and I’ve never worked with Steven Spielberg, and I grant you that I never will work with Steven Spielberg – and I never learned how to make a cake.”

Meanwhile, Spielberg and Irving  reunited in 1984, married in 1985 and separated for good in 1989
