CANBERRA, Australia — Oscar-winning actor Geoffrey Rush won his defamation case on Thursday against a Sydney newspaper publisher and journalist over reports he had been accused of inappropriate behaviour toward an actress.
Rush’s lawyer Bill McClintock told a three-week trial that ended in November that the actor might never work again because of the newspaper’s reports. Rush’s phone may not ring with job offers and he may never regain his confidence and desire to work, his lawyer said. We are disappointed with Justice Wigney's findings, in particular his dismissal of Eryn Jean Norvill's evidence
Norvill, who played Lear’s daughter Cordelia in the production, did not speak to the newspaper before the articles were published, but agreed to testify for the newspaper at the trial. The 34-year-old actress testified that while she was playing dead, Rush stroked his hand across the side of her right breast and on to her hip during a preview performance.
In an unrelated allegation, “Orange Is the New Black” actress Yael Stone told The New York Times in December that Rush engaged in sexually inappropriate behaviour when they starred in “The Diary of a Madman” in 2010.
