During the taping of SUN's earthquake and subsequent
tidal wave last month, Lesley-Anne Down (Olivia) was
happy to be land-locked. "I haven't had good experiences
with water in my life," says the actress. "I've have
nearly been killed at sea on three different occasions."
One was during the filming of the movie Rough Cut in
late 1970's. It was a nighttime, and Down was headed
back to shore after shooting a scene ain a yacht four
miles out to sea. "Normally, it took 45 minutes to get
(back)," she says. "But on this particular night, we
were in a little boat. The water was very rough and the
engine lost power." As the sea raged around them, "we
were told to lie down to add weight to the boat," she
recalls. "The captain kept calling for 'Mayday,' but
no one came." It took four hours to get home and "when
we got to the docks, I fainted. Later, the captain told
us he thought we weren't going to make it." Needless to
say, Down concludes, "I was thrilled that I was not part
of SUN's little Poesidon Adventure."
