Shannon Elizabeth on how important "American Pie" (1999) was for her career & on how the Webcam scene was filmed:
"If I hadn't done 'American Pie' (1999) and I hadn't done the role of Nadia and the n*d !ty that came along with it, I might not have a career today. I didn't really think about the fact that my character had n*d !ty. I was a struggling actress auditioning for everything I could, so when I got the role I was so excited to get it."
On filming the Webcam scene,
"It was a closed set and it was just me in this room and the boom guy above me. I was like, ‘This is so weird.’ It was square room they had built in the middle of a warehouse and we made everyone that didn’t need to be there leave set. That’s the main thing I remember, just me and the boom guy, and trying to make jokes with the directors and make light of it because if I wasn’t nervous maybe they wouldn’t be so nervous … I just tried to make it no big deal.”
If this had come out after the MeToo movement, there would definitely be a problem. I think that it would have gone down differently.”
