Veteran Hollywood costume designer Jean-Pierre Dorléac, known for his work on films and TV series like 'Battlestar Galactica' and 'Buck Rogers in the 25th Century', has made critical remarks about some actors he collaborated with. In an interview with the Daily Mail, Dorléac labeled the late actors Kirstie Alley, Shannen Doherty, and Patrick Macnee as 'vile' and difficult to work with.
Dorléac, whose career spans decades, specifically cited his experience working on the 1990 TV miniseries 'A Family of Spies' with Kirstie Alley. He claimed she was 'the most vile human being I have ever worked with.' He also made similar criticisms of Shannen Doherty from his time on 'Battlestar Galactica' and Patrick Macnee from 'The Howling'.
The costume designer's comments have drawn attention for their bluntness. He stated that these experiences led him to eventually leave the film industry, citing the behavior of certain stars as a primary reason. The remarks were part of a broader interview reflecting on his long career in Hollywood.
Representatives for the late actors have not publicly responded to these specific claims. Dorléac's interview serves as a rare public airing of grievances from a behind-the-scenes professional in the entertainment industry.
