Jim Siedow(1920-2003)

In the scene of "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre" when his character beat up Sally Hardesty (Marilyn Burns), he had to actually hit her because none of the fake things they tried looked real. It was done after 8 takes. After these takes Marilyn was bruised up and actually fainted.

"I spent hours trying to figure out what I was going to do. How was I going to play this crazed cook? I didn't know what kind of director Tobe Hooper was. Fortunately, he was a very fine director -- he knows what he wants and he gets it out of you. I would've played it altogether differently if he hadn't told me what he wanted and it wouldn't have been as good." (on playing the Cook in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre")
