Producers wanted Kathleen Kilmont to film nude scenes, but she refused because she felt they were gratuitous. They also weren't paying her enough to even consider it.
Kathleen Kinmont said she took the starring role in this non-union film because the producers said it would only be released in Europe. It was shot in the Mojave desert, and she was paid $50 per day, barely enough to cover her gas. When it was shown on HBO and released on video in the U.S., she almost lost her Screen Actors Guild membership. She also didn't make any money from the U.S. distribution.
Final film of Persis Khambatta.
