Room With A View

In one of Helena Bonham Carter’s earliest movies, she plays Lucy Honeychurch in Room with a View. At the fresh age of 18, Carter stars opposite Julian Sands, who plays her friend George. While Lucy and George are chatting, the two share an intense kiss.

The young Helena didn’t have much on-screen or real-life experience with kissing, and she was surprised when the production crew suggested the scene. Not one to ever shy away from a challenge, Helena went with it, and described the kiss that made the final cut as completely improvised and a little awkward.
