Look what's happened these past few months. Olivia de Havllland, Jane Bryan, Don Ameche and Director Garson Kanin have been under suspension for refusing assignments. Warner Bros, stopped Bette Davis' pay check when she refused to report for work on a scheduled date.

Metro suspended Hedy Lamarr until she was illlng to tone down her demands for a big pay boost.
