Published in Daily Trivia

Before tackling the most challenging role in his film career, Jon Voight spent 11 weeks at the Rancho Los Amigos Hospital near Los Angeles interviewing 500 paraplegics to learn how they conducted sexual relations. Cast as Jane Fonda's veteran paraplegic lover in the 1978 Coming Home, Voight earned many awards, including an Oscar, a Golden Globe, a Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival, and a Los Angeles Film Critics award. He also won the National Board of Review award, tying with Laurence Olivier for his perfomance in The Boys from Brazil. The lovemaking scenes between Voight and Fonda became the most analyzed film sex scenes in modern film history.
