10. The iconic lily pad scene was hard to shoot

There was an iconic scene in the show where Krystle and Alexis get into a catfight in the deep lily pond…but in real life it was very shallow and hard to work in. Said Linda Evans: “It looked like we were in six feet of water but in reality we were in only two and a half feet, and fighting on our knees! It felt absurd and we struggled all day to make it look authentic. When at the end of the day the director yelled ‘cut and print,’ we stood up looking like a couple of drowned rats. The crew spontaneously broke out in applause and laughter … Joan loved the verbal fights—I hated them. I loved the physical confrontations—she loathed them. We did them all—for nine years!”
