Linda Evans, Don Joslyn, Don Murray, and Angelique Pettyjohn in Childish Things (1969)

Trivia

Childish Things

Edit
Filmed in 1966, but not released until 1969.
Only film directed by John Derek starring his then wife Linda Evans.
According to Linda Evans, after this was finally released in 1969, her husband John Derek had the opportunity to direct the film Fantasies starring newcomer Bo Derek but needed money to help finance it. He convinced Evans to let him sell full nude photos he took of her to Playboy. She agreed and they were published in 1971. He ended up filming Fantasies in 1973 but it wasn't released until 1981 after Bo gained fame starring in 10. Derek and Evans had already divorced in 1974 when she discovered he had had an affair with Bo, who was 16 at the time, while filming the movie. So she ended up letting the world see her naked so her husband could have an affair with an underage girl. But she said in a 2011 interview that she didn't regret it because the nude photoshoot helped reinvigorate her career which led to her getting the role on the series Dynasty (1981), which was a huge hit.
