Actress Liza Minnelli is not getting much love after sharing some very interesting choice of words for her former late co-star, Gene Hackman, on his one-year death anniversary.
The star was seen promoting her candid new memoir, Kids, Wait Till You Hear This!. And that's when the legendary star shared her experience on-set while working with Gene Hackman on the 1975 comedy-drama Lucky Lady. Minnelli recalls how the on-set chemistry between the two actors was so poor.

This made it so difficult to connect in their roles and contribute to the movie's energy. The revelation paints a very unexpected image of the veteran star's behavior early in his career, especially given his later reputation as a highly respected and accomplished performer.
