Kornbluths question forScarfaces leading lady: How much did she weigh during production?

As the father of a daughter, I am concerned with body image, he said.
Pfeiffer politely answered: Well,okay.
Heres that appalling Michelle Pfeiffer moment in full.
The problem is, it ended up going six months, Pfeiffer continued.
I was starving by the end.
I was living on tomato soup and Marlboros.
Pacino, De Palma, and Bauer made it through the conversation without being asked about their weight.
Update:IndieWirefollowed up with Kornbluth about the weight question, and he defended his query.
It is true that a gentleman should never ask a woman about her weight.
But that was not my question, he said via e-mail.
