Bedroom Scene Forced 'E.T.' Star Dee Wallace to Ask Steven Spielberg for a Script Change
Dee Wallace is one of the icons from the 1980s who shot to stardom by starring in cult horror movies like The Hills Have Eyes and The Howling. However, it was her role in Steven Spielberg's sci-fi classic E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial that gave her the opportunity to prove she wasn't just a horror actor. She became Mary, Elliot's mom, a lonely woman who helps her children survive a broken home but also helps the alien creature return home in the film's final act. But as innocent and family-friendly as the movie is, it turns out that the original plans included an unexpected take on E.T. and Mary's relationship. Luckily, Wallace was there to stop Spielberg's original vision.
