Ricci's Traumatic Gallo Memories
Actress Christina Ricci has vowed never to work with controversial actor Vincent Gallo again, because their partnership in "Buffalo '66" left her so traumatized.
Ricci teamed up with Gallo -- who caused shockwaves with his explicit movie "The Brown Bunny" at the Cannes Film Festival last year -- in the 1998 arthouse picture, and she admits the "abuse" she suffered on-set continues to haunt her.
And the Hollywood star confesses even her hero Woody Allen -- who directed her in "Anything Else" -- couldn't convince her to sign up for a project if Gallo was also attached.
She says in an interview with Time Out magazine, "If Woody told me he wanted Vincent, I would've quit. 'Buffalo '66' was the most beautiful example of self-absorption I've ever seen in my life. I don't want to bite the hand that feeds you, but I wouldn't take that kind of abuse ever again."
