Leonard Whiting and Olivia Hussey have lost their suit over "sexual exploitation."
Let's review the facts:
  1. The movie was shot over 55 years ago
  2. Both stars were paid as actors
  3. Both stars went on to successful careers
  4. They weren't the first 16-year olds to bonk
  5. What they did, on-screen, was to appear, VERY briefly, unclothed
  6. There was implied sex but nothing that couldn't get a 'G' rating
  7. The stars have remained friends for 55 years


So, yeah.  I'd have thrown out the lawsuit too.  Obviously just a cash grab.

They were reportedly seeking $100m in damages.
Damages for WHAT?
