... she would instantly be scheduled to get an abortion,” explained Claire. “If she refused in any manner she would be segregated, not allowed to speak with her husband, put under surveillance, put under security watch, put under manual labor, and interrogated for her crimes as to why she wanted to leave.”.

... injuries, which Wright sees as a major fault in the church's foundation. Additionally, Wright said he found that Scientology's claims that Hubbard received many military service awards and records were false.

... Church of Scientology member after she was recently spotted in Leah Remini’s scientology docuseries leaving a church fundraiser.

Rinder said that Travolta asked him to review the screenplay for Pulp Fiction. “I’ve got a story about this that I’m not sure I should really tell,” Rinder said. “When Quentin Tarantino approached John Travolta for a role in Pulp Fiction, John asked me to review the script to tell him what I thought, and his role was a heroin-addict assassin, and I said, ‘Oh, John, I don’t think that you should do this.’ What great career advice; I should be an agent.

Some other actors who were considered for the role? Apparently, if Harvey Weinstein had gotten his way, Vincent could have been played by Sean Penn, William Hurt, or Daniel Day-Lewis. As fate would have it, although he did not get to play Vincent Vega, Day-Lewis did get his own milkshake-loving role. ...
