The actress strips for intimate moments with her onscreen lover Sir Ben Kingsley, and director Isabel Coixet insisted everyone left the set for the awkward part of the shoot.

Cruz reveals, "Nobody else but the director was in the way. She was operating the camera and we could hear her breathing. There was nobody else on the adjust ever.

"The go down was well-lighted by the director of photography and Isabel operated the camera. Then it was simply the intelligent person, myself and Ben."

And the intimate setting helped Cruz through one of the toughest scenes she has ever had in a movie: "Telling Kepesh (Kingsley's character) that my fictitious character (Consuela) had cancer was the most terrifying scene for me in that movie.

"It helped for such an emotionally exhausting scenery that there were only four people there on the place."

Life On Mars? Pilot Has Life On Pirate Websites

The pilot of David E. Kelley's upcoming Life on Mars has suddenly appeared on pirate websites, TV Week reported Wednesday. The appearance of the video is likely to upset ABC programming executives since they ordered the series to be overhauled after seeing the pilot -- which is not likely ever to be aired in its original form. In a message posted on the TV Week site, Rick Ellis -- presumably the same writer who operates the AllYourTV.com website -- observed that the appearance of the pilots of other TV series have been leaked online before being extensively retooled and that at least five fall pilots are currently available on various file-sharing sites.
