Lori Petty is an iconic actress and director who is known for her roles in Point Break, Free Willy, and Orange Is the New Black. She recently spoke with PEOPLE about her time creating the 1992 film A League of Their Own, revealing that the “groundbreaking feminist work” wasn’t easy to make.
“There was vomiting involved because it was super hot,” Petty revealed. “And I’ve got on a wig, a wool hat, wool socks, satin shorts under that heavy costume, and the enormous leather 1940s cleats that had real huge metal things in them. People used to faint all the time on set, and Penny [Marshall] would go, ‘Take off a costume, put it on someone else. Let’s go.’”

Petty explained that when they were playing baseball, they were genuinely playing against local teams in the area. “When I hit my home run, I really hit that damn ball on the high and outside,” she said. “That was my favorite pitch in real life, too. When I hit it, and then I ran those bases perfectly, and with that crane was perfect and then my running... it was perfect. There’s no stutter steps. It was all the inside corner. Come around the thing, bash the hell out of Geena’s double, run over that person. It was great because it was perfect. I loved it.”
Petty also spoke about how many women auditioned for a role in the film. “Marla Maples was at the audition,” she revealed. “There were, I think, Spice Girls at the audition. Women were begging to be more than the wife, or the whore, or the mom. Pick one. I’m like, ‘What about the person who owns a gas station? What about the person who owns the bank in all these movies?’ When you see 40 guys and two girls in the credits, it’s just disheartening and just gross.”
