Miriam Margolyes Accuses Arnold Schwarzenegger Of Farting In Her Face

She's running out of stories.

As gross as it is he did this (allegedly), it's kind of creepy and boorish she should talk about this more than twenty years after the fact. She holds grudges for decades and decades against people.

In his memoir, Richard E. Grant said she was really weird around him when they were filming "The Age of Innocence," and that she always wanted to talk about farting with him.

Austrians love flatulence. as illustrated by their Oompha Pah music

We must respect his native culture. Don't be a bigot like Miriam.

She is promoting the new edition of her book of of anecdotes. She's been making the rounds, retelling the "favorites" as requested. She is not launching a campaign against Ahnold.

I’m guessing the photo OP used was taken after the alleged incident?

I can't stand her - she just constantly rants on about endless slights from 60 years ago.

She hasn't realised that if everyone has a problem with you, then maybe you are the problem?

Gross. Women shouldn't talk about that stuff. Ugh.

She’s a horrible person. People consider her ‘beloved’ because she’s old and ugly and gets invited on tv to say outrageous things.

A Brit with no sense of decorum. I am shocked.

Suck it up.

Her stance on antisemitism is disgusting.

She'll put her name to any Israel/Palestine letter supported by Jew obsessed celebrities and holocaust deniers and defend Jeremy Corbyn, posh anti Jewish tropes herself and then claim to be the victim of antisemitism herself.

Howard Jacobson had this to say about her in an Independent article you that can't be linked to

[quote]Meanwhile, Miriam Margolyes – who could do with a few of Russell Brand’s words, since she has none of her own – is doing her giggly thing about the nature of contemporary anti-Semitism, which she calls “horrible”. “I don’t think people like Jews,” she has just rocked readers of Radio Times by telling them. A judgement she backs up with her usual long sense of history. “They never have. English literature, my great love, is full of greasy and treacherous Jews. I’m lucky they like me, and one always needs a Jewish accountant.”

[quote]Why greasy and treacherous should have been the terms she reached for, when it’s actually hard to think of many Jews in English literature who quite answer to that description and when there are countless writers in English from Shakespeare onwards for whom the Jew is a complex and even heroic figure, is perhaps a question for a psychiatrist. As for her joke about Jewish accountants – why make it if she is concerned about the spread of anti-Semitism, central to whose ideology is the nexus of Jews and money? Couldn’t she have left that one to the Liberal Democrats?

[quote]But if we allow Miriam Margolyes her eternally detested greasy Jew, it’s hard to follow her reasoning that it’s Israel that makes the world detest his greasiness. “Israel is stupid for allowing people to vent their anti-Semitism,” she reasons, which begs the question of the view of Israel which anti-Semitism itself begets, elides all distinctions between Israel as a country and Jews as a people, allows that anti-Semitism is OK until it’s “vented”, and assumes a nation is responsible for the irrational hatred others already bear its citizens. If it’s true that people didn’t like Jews long before there was an Israel – for confirmation of which see her brief history of English literature – then anti-Semitism, vented or otherwise, cannot be blamed on it. The implication of this daffy intervention into matters of serious concern is that they aren’t serious at all: anti-Semitism is simply something Jews bring on themselves.

She's one to talk.

So speaking generally she is a typical UK luvvy

I liked her in Romeo + Juliet.

Arnold is a homosexual and not overly fond of fish.

She's a fucking nasty old cunt. Because she's old, people think she's a real card. Well she's not, she's just gross.

She's the equivalent of those horrible loud girls who are 'just putting it out there.'

While that sucks, i think Miriam got off easy compared to how Arnold has treated other women on set pre governator.

That irrepressible Miriam!! What will she say next???!!!

My fav story is the time she accidentally finger-banged Lenny Henry.

There's always someone ready to rush in and spin things so that they can point out that the person acting crude or awful is, in fact, the real victim in all this.

She's told this story before. As r4 says, she's doing the rounds, telling old favorite anecdotes, which she's collected in a book.

It only took ten replies to bring the whole thing back to Corbyn, certain Brits really are insane. He will live rent-free in their heads forever, just like Hillary does in deplorables' heads.

In any case, my favourite anecdote of hers is that she had her first orgasm at age three.

Intestinal GAS is NOT entertainment!

Perhaps she deserved it.

REPULSIVE self hating Jewess. A Shonda..

She is not a lady.

She was inexplicably cast in The Apple …. AND DIDN’T WEAR A BRA!

It was horrible.

Horrible.

[quote]Maybe we should call him Arnold Fartzenegger.

We really shouldn't.

90% of the posts in this thread are from one account.

We have a Miriam Margoles-hater troll now?

[quote]She's running out of stories.

I should be so lucky to have such stories to run out of.

Or that time her nipple fell into Maggie Smith's tea.

Have you ever tried wearing a bra, R26? They’re fucking torture!

There may be other reasons to hate on her, but having to look at actual “unsupported” breasts shouldn’t be one of them (Women have breasts, and they’re not always “perky” and beautiful. Get over it.)

*Shudder*

That's how steroidal, hyper-testosteroned bodybuilders flirt. Marking their territory before making the fjrsr injection. That's how it all started with the housekeeper: one big, luscious fart.

I find this woman exhausting.

I guess some people enjoy old ladies who say "edgey" stuff.

I'm not one of them.

I thought she was hungry 🤷‍♂️

She's just another celebrity narcissist who happens to be very ugly and therefore goes to extremes with her personality as she could never gain attention from her looks. She is a decent character actress, and I have found her amusing in smaller doses, but the more exposure I have to her the less I like her.

Isn’t that what plastic surgery is for?

He deliberately farted in her face. That is ASSAULT.

It's obvious she is still traumatized by this violence.

Nasty twat! She was my inspiration for "Smelly Cat."

Just saw Miriam as the nursing home nurse in "The Lives and Loves of a She-Devil".

Replaced in the movie by Linda Hunt who is more than half her size.

She's the poor man's Shelley Winters.

Literal flatulence.

"the real victim"??

Oh, FFS [italic]Mary.[/italic]

Maybe she should file a lawsuit.

It was the fact it was a Nazi fart that made it so offensive, but they scrubbed that out of the story.

After all, she does have an OBE.

Yes. People here defend Schwarzenegger, one of the foulest, craven pigs on the planet.

Pffft.

I can’t be the one who starts another Margolyes post…and it may already exist.

“I was hit all day by doors opening in my face; repeatedly punched, slapped and knocked down by an unlovely and unapologetic Steve Martin – perhaps he was method acting – and came home grumpy with a splitting headache.”

When I first read Miriam Margolyes’ pejorative account of our scene in Little Shop of Horrors, I was surprised. My memory is that we had a good communication as professional actors. But when it is implied that I harmed her or was in some way careless about doing the stunts, I have to object. I remember taking EXTREME caution regarding the fake punch – the same caution I would use with any similar scene. She assured me she felt fine, and we did a few successful takes and stopped. There was never any physical contact between her and me, accidental or otherwise, in this scene or any other we shot.”
