'True Grit' stars minded manners with teenage actress < German news | Expatica Germany: "Fourteen-year-old Oscar nominee Hailee Steinfeld kept her 'True Grit' co-stars on a tight leash on set, actor Jeff Bridges said at the opening of the Berlin film festival Thursday.
Bridges, who is also nominated for his role in the Western by director Joel and Ethan Coen, said he and fellow actors Matt Damon and Josh Brolin had to mind their manners around Steinfeld.
'She kept us all in line,' he told reporters. 'She had a cursing cup and if any of us used the s-word, I think it was five bucks.
'I ran a tab so I still owe her quite a bit of money,' joked Bridges, who picked up his first Academy Award last year for his role in 'Crazy Heart'.
'She made much more money from that jar than she did from the movie,' Brolin quipped."

How the Egypt Crisis Has Shut Down Show Business - The Hollywood Reporter: "The political crisis in Egypt has had a devastating impact on the entertainment industry in the country that has been called the 'Hollywood of the Middle East.'
'Everything is shut down; life is at a standstill,' producer Marianne Khoury, who runs MISR International Films (September 11, El Medina) with her brother Gabriel, told The Hollywood Reporter. 'People are glued to their TVs.'
Khoury supports the protesters and, with her company's work shut down, decided recently to help in whatever way she could. She took a carload of blankets to support the anti-Murbarak demonstrators, but her car was attacked by 'thugs paid by the government,' she said.
'It was an extremely traumatic experience,' Khoury added. 'People in the street saw the car full of blankets and guessed who they were for. The whole street attacked us with unbelievable violence and people started banging on the windows.'
She was pulled from her car by her hair before being rescued at the last second. 'Finally,' a shaken Khoury recalled, 'I was taken in a truck to an army checkpoint and sent home.'"
