There was one challenge Marcia Gay Harden faced when filming "Barkskins," a historical drama set in French-colonial Canada.

“Going to the bathroom,” the actress told Fox News. “That was the biggest challenge. You’re wearing corsets, things going over the corsets, petticoats, and your skirt is dragging through the mud -- and there was a lot of mud. Usually, you’d be like, ‘Hey, can I have five minutes to run to the restroom?’ … In this case, you have to go, ‘Ugh, can I have 30 minutes please?'"

“A lot of the materials were really from the 1700s, 1600s,” the Oscar winner continued. “One of them, they went to an antique store and they said it was from this time. So they’ve got materials that are [from] the 1690s. I don’t know how they did it. They were just beautiful. But you learn [quickly] it’s a lot to deal with, you know, hauling around all that material -- it’s a lot to deal with.”
