AceShowbiz - Frank Langella is under an investigation at Netflix for alleged sexual harassment. The "Dracula" actor is being accused of sexually harassing an actress on the set of "The Fall of the House of Usher".
On Tuesday, April 12, TMZ reported that the 84-year-old actor has been accused of multiple instances of "inappropriate conduct" on the British Columbia, Canada set of the Netflix show. Production sources told the outlet that despite the allegations, the actor hasn't been fired or suspended.
Insiders informed that Frank had sexual overtones during a scripted performance. At one point, the "Robot and Frank" star allegedly touched the leg of an actress and joked, "Did you like that?"
Police told the outlet that no reports have been filed in connection with the veteran actor. Meanwhile, a Netflix insider said that the company doesn't comment on "active employment matters."
Currently, it's unclear who Frank is dating. Of his dating history, the actor, who was married to magazine editor Ruth Weil for 18 years until their divorce in 1996, opened up about it in his memoir titled "Dropped Names: Famous Men and Women as I Knew Them", which was released in 2012. In it, he shared that he dated late actresses Rita Hayworth and Elizabeth Taylor. He was also romantically linked with Whoopi Goldberg for five years after they worked together on her 1994 movie "Eddie".
"The Fall of the House of Usher" is being filmed in British Columbia, Canada. Frank plays the titular patriarch, Roderick Usher, on the series which was created by Mike Flanagan. Other members of the cast include Mark Hamill, Carla Gugino, Willa Fitzgerald, JayR Tinaco, Mary McDonnell, Kate Siegel, Zach Gilford, Henry Thomas, Annabeth Gish and Malcolm Goodwin.
"The Fall of the House of Usher" follows a story of a man who has been invited to visit his childhood friend, Roderick Usher. Roderick gradually makes clear that his twin sister Madeline has been placed in the family vault not quite dead. When she reappears in her blood-stained shroud, the visitor rushes to leave as the entire house splits and sinks into a lake. The Netflix limited series is set to premiere this year.
