* CreatorBacklash: Creator/UmaThurman was horrified by how her topless scene was in the film:
-->I felt some trepidation going in, but it was an art movie. It was based on this classic novel set in eighteenth-century France, and the scene was appropriate. When ''Dangerous Liaisons'' came out, the scene was sensationalist in this really creepy, voyeuristic way. It made it seem out of character and it didn't make sense to me...I certainly didn't want to become a sensational sex symbol.
