The Collapse on Set: 98 Days and the Body That Said No
At 28:05 · chapter starts 27:45
Sean had read about an incident on the set of Enough that he wanted Lopez to explain, and she does so in full. She had been filming every day, going into the studio at night, doing junkets and video shoots on weekends — and never clocking that it had been 98 days in a row. On set one afternoon, she started feeling a subtle pitter-patter in her chest every time she walked out to film. Then one day it didn't go away. The little girl playing her daughter tried to comfort her. Lopez went back to her trailer, sat down, and suddenly couldn't see clearly and couldn't move her body. Her long-time friend and assistant Arlene initially told her to stop scaring her before Lopez got her security guard B.O.B. to carry her to the car. At the hospital, the doctor's diagnosis was simple: exhaustion. She had shut down.
