Wallace is cited as saying: “Steven wanted me to be a lot more nude in the scene where E.T. brings the Reese’s Pieces in. I said: ‘Why? I think that’s wrong.’

“He wanted the cover way down on the bed. I really argued with him about that."

She added:  “I think that’s what it’s about when everyone wants the best and wants to bring the best, they fight for what they think is the best."

‘E.T.’ is currently celebrating the 30th anniversary of its release.
