Appearing on Watch What Happens last week with host Andy Cohen, the actress participated in the show’s Plead the Fifth segment – in which participants are faced with three questions which they must answer truthfully. When asked what she thought her best onscreen kiss had been, the actress took a moment, and then answered: ‘Robert Redford. In The Natural.’.

She continued: ‘I only got to kiss him once.’. ‘Only one take?’ asked host Andy, 56. ‘No, no, maybe we did two takes,’ the Mars Attacks! star clarified, ‘ she replied. ‘But I also threw him out of my apartment in that movie. But I ended up with him.’.
