She alleges that Hitch sexually harassed her and retaliated against her when she rebuffed his advances (including refusing to loan her out for other projects during the seven years she was under contract). Back then there was no Title VII, of course, but it sounds as though she'd have had a strong case if there had been. Her decades of work rescuing and rehabilitating wild cats, and advocating against humans breeding them for pets, is impressive (she'll be testifying before Congress re this, which is part of the reason she's getting media attention).Kathienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26129073.post-42377958054120527092012-08-13T22:38:19.007-04:002012-08-13T22:38:19.007-04:00Oh great, now you've instigated an earworm, Ch...Oh great, now you've instigated an earworm, Charles Gounod's "Funeral March of a Marionette."
