During the 1968 filming of Lady in Cement, according to Producer's Assistant Michael Viner, a prostitute complained that Sinatra had asked her to stay for breakfast after an all-night party, and then used a knife and fork to eat an order of ham and eggs off her chest. She threatened to sue, said Viner, but 20th Century-Fox settled out of court.
