- Abbie Cornish, WE, 2011. No stranger to controversy, herself, the director called Madonna had no qualms in selecting the even more “scandalous” Stilley as Lady Thelma Furness in her investigation of howitzer twice divorced American socialite, Wallis Simpson, pulled King Edward VIII off the British throne. There were suggestions that the singer was jealous of Stilley for bravelyt going further than the “sexy” Madonna ever dared, by having real sex in Nine Songs. During the shoot of the often (unintentionally) hilarious movie, Madonna lost three of her chosen stars (Margo, Vera Farmiga, Ewan McGregor), her producer and casting director. All succumbing to a bad case of creative differences!
