During the filming of Stanley Kubrick's The Shining(1980), the director was very protective over the young Danny Lloyd(who starred as Danny Torrance) since it was his first acting job. Kubrick even gave Danny the impression that the film they were shooting was a drama and not a horror film. In fact, when Wendy carries Danny away while shouting at Jack in the Colorado Lounge, she is actually carrying a life-size dummy so Lloyd would not have to be in the scene. The young actor only realised the truth several years later, when he was shown a heavily-edited version of the film. He did not see the uncut version of the film until he was 17 - eleven years after he had made it.
