The vaguely defined illnesses that put France Nuyen out of Suzie Wong cost the insurance companies nearly half a million-when Audrey Hepburn fell from a horse in Mexico early last year, breaking her back and delaying The Unforgiven for six weeks, Fireman's Fund paid $250,000; Kay Kendall's fatal illness necessitated a $106,000 payoff to the producers of Once More, With Feeling...
