The situation was not ideal.
In the excerpt of the memoir published by, Polley—now an actor, writer, and director—explains that she and her family were huge Monty Python fans, so when they heard about a casting call for a fantasy movie by Gilliam, a Monty Python member, she was thrilled to be able to audition. Polley was cast in the role of Sally Salt, the sidekick to Baron Munchausen , when she was eight years old.
"Terry was giggly, fun, rambunctious," Polley writes of meeting the director."He reminded me of the kind of disobedient, unregulated child I had avoided in school in order to keep out of trouble." But, once they started filming, Polly says that"things quickly began to fall apart. Terry was erratic, a dreamer, someone who didn't live in the world of 'logic and reason.
Additionally, Polley reveals that when she was very ill for a few days, feverish and vomiting, she still went to work, because her father told her there wasn't another option.Polley includes in her memoir emails that she exchanged with Gilliam when she was in her mid-20s.
Gilliam was receptive to the email, but also told her,"Although things might have seemed to be dangerous, they weren't. The only time events got close to trouble was when the horse jumped from the boat." For the stunt with the horse and the underwater explosive, he apologized. However, he also questioned whether Polley remembered which parts in the film were her and which were actually her stunt double.
