VIDEO SPECIAL: VOIGHT REVEALS 1981 TIGER-ROY INCIDENT

At a Cinevegas screening of the recut version of the 1982 Hal Ashby
film "Lookin' To Get Out" on June 14, actor Jon Voight related a
never-before-heard tale of a harrowing incident in which one of
Siegfried & Roy's tigers tackled an elderly woman and had to be
talked down by a member of the film crew. In the movie, Voight and
Burt Young play pals and gamblers who come to Vegas to try to make
back money Voight's character lost in a poker game. The film was
made largely at the old MGM Grand (now Bally's) and Ann-Margret
plays a woman from Voight's past. The characters played by Voight,
Young and Ann-Margret, attend a show in what is probably the
Jubilee! Theater and Siegfried & Roy are among the acts shown.
According to Voight, Young was acting in the shot as though the
tiger had startled him running about on the stage with Roy. Young
was wearing sunglasses, and Voight surmised that the combination of
Young's fake startling and the reflection of the lighting on the
glasses caused the tiger to get scared and "he ran off the stage
and on to a table." Watch the rest of the story or read it on
