Mike Myers branded 'diva' by Cat in the Hat co-star: 'It was just a horrible, nightmarish experience'
'If I saw him today, I don't think he'd even remember who I was'
Remember the film adaptation of Dr. Seuss' The Cat in the Hat starring Mike Myers? Actor Amy Hill does all too well.
The 2004 comedy, directed by former costume designer Bo Welch, saw Myers' giant titular feline cause trouble for children Sally (Dakota Fanning) and Conrad (Spencer Breslin).
Hill appeared in the film as their babysitter Mrs. Kwan and spends the entire running time snoozing while the cat runs amok around the house; it turns out she may as well have been.
When asked which projects she didn't like working on in a candid interview with The AV Club, Hill immediately cited The Cat in the Hat describing her experience working with Austin Powers actor Myers as "nightmarish."
It would be slightly unnerving if Myers didn't remember Hill considering there's a scene where he uses her as a log flume.
The Cat in the Hat co-stars Kelly Preston and Alec Baldwin as well Will & Grace actor Sean Hayes. A categorical flop upon release, the film has since garnered something of a cult fanbase among families.
Hill's other credits include Adam Sandler-Drew Barrymore comedy 50 First Dates, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Crazy Ex-Girlfriend.
