In the documentary, "Easy Riders, Raging Bulls," a director (I think) mentions a story about coming in on a threesome with Peter Fonda, Karen Black(?), and another guy; this was while they were filming Easy Rider. Has anyone else seen this? I watched it in film class, so I might have misheard. I'm not sure if he was talking about a movie or real life. I know he's married, but it was the 60s, right?

shareI was the other guy. It was great.
A snake ? Nonsense, back in my country, i was a snake myself.
Oh, I know what you're taking about.
I can't remember who walked in on it, but the third person wasn't a guy. It was Peter Fonda, Karen Black and the third was Toni Basil. I wonder what the story of that whole thing was.
Peter was talking about a fight between Dennis Hopper and another guy on set, when he mentions that he was in the room next to it playing the guitar in Karen and Toni's room. He says "I picked up Karen's guitar and playing songs and, you know, location love". Dennis mentions later that Peter was in bed with Karen and Toni when he crashed through the door during the fight. So, I don't know, it's up for interpretation.
shareIt sounds like a misinterpreted situation.
A possibility is that Peter Fonda was literally in bed with Toni and Karen--hanging out together. Just talking and relaxing and he was playing guitar. They probably got along and were just relaxing together. Peter was showing the ol' Fonda charm by playing the guitar.
Makes sense to me. I've hung out in hotel beds with girls. It's a friends thing--just a friend thing.
yeah, i think it was dennis hopper who mentioned this in the documentary. something about him being drunk and starting a fight and as he crashed through some door he sees peter in bed with karen black and toni basil, who were staying together during filming.
shareHa-ha! Thanks for that... it's the funniest thing I've read on the site in a while :)
