Bill Murray's Alleged Inappropriate Set Behavior

Davis opened up about her not-so-good experience with Murray on the set of their 1990 movie Quick Change.

She wrote in her memoir that the writer-producer insisted on using The Thumper, a massage device, on her despite refusing when they first met in a hotel suite.

In a different event, he screamed at her for being late while waiting on the wardrobe during their film's filming. The screaming allegedly continued as he followed her from her trailer to the set while the other cast members, movie crew, and onlookers were looking.

"That was bad," Davis told The Times. "The way he behaved at the first meeting… I should have walked out of that or profoundly defended myself, in which case I wouldn't have got the part."

"I could have avoided that treatment if I'd known how to react or what to do during the audition," she continued. "But, you know, I was so non-confrontational that I just didn't…."

Now, she regretted blaming her younger self, thinking it was Murray who showed inappropriate behavior.

"There's no point in regretting things, and yet, here I was regretting," she continued. "And yes, exactly, it wasn't my fault."
