Tilton's Freaky Friday Miracle: Water Skiing Success
27 Sep
Summary
- Charlene Tilton confessed to never having water-skied before filming.
- She claimed water-skiing experience to land her Freaky Friday role.
- Tilton called her successful water-skiing attempt a 'miracle'.
Charlene Tilton recently shared a remarkable anecdote about her experience filming the 1976 movie "Freaky Friday." Tilton, who played Bambi, confessed that she had no water-skiing experience when she auditioned for the role.
She embellished her qualifications during the audition, claiming to have trophies and prior experience. Tilton recalled praying for divine intervention before her first attempt on the water, which was unsuccessful. However, during the second take, she managed to successfully water ski alongside Jodie Foster.
Tilton described the moment as a "miracle," especially considering her self-proclaimed lack of athletic ability. She admitted to being unable to throw or catch a ball, or run well, making her water-skiing success even more astonishing. Her ability went unnoticed by the production, allowing her to continue in the role.
