I was cleaning up some bookmarks last night and found this link.I can't recall if I've posted it before or not..If I have...Tough!! 
It's an article that appeared in "Honolulu Magazine" called "Hollywood in Hawaii" Jimmy Borges who appeared in most Hawaii TV shows has a
short behind the scenes story from one of his appearances.From what I can determine the story happened during the filming of "Billy Joe Bob"
TM pulled a funny on Carol "Cry Baby" Little.I'll paste the story and the link for the entire Hollywood in Hawaii article.
Handicapping a Guest Actor
Jazzman Jimmy Borges has appeared in a number of Hawaii-based TV shows. He told me how Tom Selleck dealt with a haughty guest actor on Magnum P.I.
“There was a scene with Tom, Larry Manetti, myself playing a cop and this Actors Studio-type chick, in a wheelchair. She goes off to get into character, comes back crying and gets in the wheelchair. But it doesn’t feel right to her so she leaves, holding up the shot. This happens a few times, so Tom gets a deck of cards and a clothespin and attaches a card between the spokes of the wheel. The chick comes back, weeping, they call action and she starts rolling the wheelchair forward and the chair makes a noise like a propeller. She jumps up, gets pissed off and walks off. It was pretty funny.”
