The memoir delves into their collaboration on the 1986 cult classic, “Little Shop of Horrors,” directed by Frank Oz. In the film, the 83-year-old actress portrayed the secretary to Martin’s menacing dentist character, Orin Scrivello. Notably, in the memorable musical sequence “Dentist!”, Martin’s character physically interacts with Margolyes in a series of aggressive scenes.
Margolyes recounts the filming of these sequences, suggesting that the physicality might have been more genuine than acting. She describes enduring “doors opening in my face all day, repeated punches, slaps, and knockdowns by an indifferent and remorseless Steve Martin.” She goes on to ponder if Martin was possibly channeling his method acting skills during the scene, leading her to return home “irritable with a throbbing headache”.
In a recent interview, Margolyes reflected on her experiences in the entertainment world, stating, “Let it not be said that I have never suffered in the name of art”, While she acknowledged one actor’s undeniable talent, she recalled “was undeniably brilliant, but horrid to me”.

In a recent conversation, she didn’t hold back, describing veteran actor John Cleese as “poisonous”, and went on to term him a “a puny tadpole of a person”.
