administer a well deserved smacking. (Enter for Picture)

the American actress, People Magazine, March 19, 2001,
"While The Mexican was shooting last summer, Roberts spent
just 10 days on location in Real de Catorce in central Mexico.
But that was enough to set the tone. When costar James Gandolfini
arrived in the tiny town, “we all met to have a bite to
eat,” Roberts recalls, “and he grabbed me and threw me
over his shoulder and gave me a whack on the butt.” Far from
being displeased, she says, “I thought, ‘And we’re
off.’"

across her backside. It was the first time she got the cane and
she said it hurt like hell.
Joan
Bakewell - (contributed by Fozzy) - I saw on a
documentary, I think it was called Mothers and Daughters, the TV

(contributed by RG) - Model/actress Jenny
McCarthy said in a biography that she got spanked hard for
drawing on the walls when she was little.
Jenny Maxwell - (contributed
by Paul) - In a book I saw several years ago about Elvis, Jenny
Maxwell was quoted fairly extensively, discussing her famous
over-the-knee, sea-side spanking in "Blue Hawaii." My
recollections here will have to be paraphrased. Ms.Maxwell noted
that Elvis "really hit hard!" because they wanted to
make sure the scene took on a certain validity or authenticity.
It was noted by the author that, in the scene where Jennie rides
on horseback, she was seen on the set "seated gingerly
slightly above the saddle," due to the spanking she'd just
endured from her leading man. What's more, I remember a passage
where the author pointed out that Jennie had, in fact, twisted
her ankle on the set of "Blue Hawaii," and was
temporarily hobbling around with the assistance of a cane. She
made a comment, the author reports, where she'd gotten it
"twice," in "two places" -- referring, of
course, to her bruised ankle AND her bruised behind!
(contributed by JD) - I
read a book about the scene (from Blue Hawaii) which actually
reprinted a press interview with Jennie Maxwell about the
spanking scene. The spanking scene took three different takes to
complete. Ms. Maxwell recalled her dress was wet because of her
character having tried to have drowned herself when Presley took
her over his knee. She also mentioned that because of the wet
clothing, it was like being spanked without clothes. She
mentioned her bottom was very red and sore for hours following
the spanking -- each take involved ten to twelve hard swats to
her bottom. She was 19 at the time and got along with Presley
during the filming of "Blue Hawaii"; she had no desire
to endure another spanking from Presley.

Brookside was asked in an interview in a TV magazine last year if

across her bottom.

Monroe - (contributed by MarkD) - In the biography

his knees, pulled off the clothing, and whipped. Marilyn
said that she could always remember the feel of Albert's leather
on her bare buttocks."
(p.74) He
also said that the Bolenders forbade games of playacting, which
Marilyn enjoyed. She did her playacting hiding in the woodshed,
and if she was caught there she might be strapped. On page 75
Kahn writes: "There is some reason to suspect that Albert
Bolender did not strap Marilyn purely to save her from a future
of brimstone. Amid all the noise of children, amid all the
repressions of fundamentalist religiosity, he may have enjoyed
having his way with the abandoned little blond girl." (SF&R Comment) I haven`t
read, Joe & Marilyn, but I have seen another reference which
suggests that Marilyn Monroe was spanked with a razor strop

with a hairbrush for being late for a shoot. She would have been
about 18 at the time.
(contributed
by Douglas) - There was a story that I heard on a
documentary about Marilyn a number of years back, told by her
manager, an incident when she first started her career. There was
a group of reporters waiting to photograph and interview Marilyn
outside her door in the hot boiling sun. Inside, the teenage and
somewhat unknown Marilyn, was in a lazy mood; lounging about and
unconcerned. He managed, after several attempts to coax her to
get going, became angry, turned her across his knee and spanked
her with a hairbrush, hard. And, thus, according to him, a career
began.
(contributed by A Source) - When the
American movie legend was a 19yo model and turned up a couple of
hours late for a shoot she was taken across her photographer`s
knee and spanked with a hairbrush. Also when she was in her early
20`s she was spanked over the knee of her movie producer with a
hairbrush for a no care attitude towards a movie promotion.

Martina Hingis -
(contributed by Jack) - On a New Jersey radio station, during
last year`s (2001) U.S. Open Tournament, two commentators began
discussing 'rumours' about Swiss tennis star, Martina Hingis,
that had surfaced a few years previously. They seemed keen to
stress that these were only rumours and not confirmed facts, that
Martina was regularly spanked with a sandal or gymshoe by her
mother until around 1997, when she was 16. She would be spanked
either for not putting enough effort into her training, behaving
badly on court, or for giving up on a match without a fight.
After the 1999 French Open final, in which Martina lost to Steffi
Graf and was jeered by the crowd for her unsporting behaviour,
Martina and her mother had a major argument during which her
mother tried to spank her for the first time in around two years.
Martina did not take the spanking willingly. A few weeks later
Martina appeared at Wimbledon without her mother, apparently
still angry that her mother had spanked her.
(contributed
by Melvin) - I read on a message board that during an interview
with the tennis star`s mother she mentioned that she spanked
Martina if she didn`t try hard enough.
(contributed
by Rick) - It was reported on television at a
tennis match recently that part of the reason for the falling out
Martina Hingis had with her mother had to do with the fact that
her mother still insisted on using a switch on her when she
didn't feel Martina was doing her best.

tennis player Martina Hingis had a falling out with her mother

Mary Crosby - (contributed

One was Mary, a daughter, who I think is somewhat well known
today. It noted that a hairbrush in the house was used for
spanking, and was well used. Even though Bing was known for
whacking his boys, I think the article said that the hairbrush
was used by his wife.

him. Just then her boyfriend drove her home. Danny was so angry
that he spanked her all the way up the stairs while she cried and
said "I`M TOOOOO OLD TO SPANK!!!!"

on the front lawn for her. While there, the lawn sprinklers came
on, drenching him, adding to his anger. When Marlo got home, her
father was waiting, belt in hand, and madder than the proverbial
wet hen. According to the article I read, she got the spanking of
her life.

An impressionable, sensitive child reared to
believe children should be seen and not heard, she bore the
discomfort of those afternoons in respectful silence as she sat
"onbony knees, fat, slick taffeta laps, and soft, flowered
muslin laps," not daring to wriggle for fear "of
getting the flat side of a hairbrush where it would do the most
good.
Returning from her first day at North
Boulevard School, Margaret told her mother that she hated
arithmetic and did not want to go back. Maybelle's response was
to bare her daughter's rear and give her a good whacking with a
hairbrush.

I learned very emphatically when I was about
four that if I didn’t act like a little lady around Mama
I’d pay the consequences. (At a book club meeting at her
house after sitting very inappropriately by exposing her panties
in front of the ladies) I was wearing a new pair of ruffled
panties - we called them underdrawers - which I thought were
beautiful. Mama stood up quickly and said, "Will you excuse
me please?" Then she took me firmly by the hand and led me
from the room, where my underdrawers were exposed again, this
time to a switch! "I can still remember Mama’s
whippings very clearly. She could make you dance with a peach
limb! Mama believed in the old adage, "Spare the rod and
spoil the child," and she always said no child of hers was
too old to get spanked. She was our disciplinarian and she was
wise about it. She never said, "Wait until your father hears
about this," or threatened us in any way with Daddy. She
dished out the punishment at the scene of the crime. I never
heard her tell him about having to spank any of us.
(After telling about her fear of the river)
"However, I did overcome my fear of the river long enough to
take a boat ride with a stranger one day. When I got home and
told Mama about it she was horrified. I got a whipping and a
stern reminder.
"Dixie (her next older sister by 7
years) caused me to get more than one whipping, but even that was
alright." Minnie then goes on to tell about when she and
Dixie started to uncontrollably laugh at the dinner table with
guests present. Minnie was about 7 and Dixie 14. Both were later
whipped for it. Also, later she tells about Dixie getting her
last whipping at the age of 17. Minnie tried to stop it, and
after her mother finished with Dixie she turned the switch on
Minnie.
