Here's a bit of on-set craziness that just makes me want to say "ew", and then go shower the nastiness away.

Thora Birch, 25, was about to film a sex scene for her film 'The Winter of Frozen Dreams', when her dad, Jack Birch, basically kicked in the door and demanded to oversee the shoot.

Even though it's industry practice to shoot sex scenes on a closed set, Jack Birch - who met Thora's mother, Carol Connors, as her co-star in "Deep Throat" - demanded to be present as his daughter and Winters simulated intercourse last week.

"It was so wrong," said one insider. "The director is saying, 'Harder! Faster!' and the father is giving Winters the thumbs up."

Jack Birch was on the set every day giving orders - even telling director Eric Mandelbaum where to place his camera so that Thora would look her best.

Mandelbaum was about to shoot the first sex scene Monday when, "all of a sudden, the front door is being kicked in. Her father was threatening to kill the assistant directors. Then he threatens to pull her from the movie with three days of shooting left."

Making matters worse, a problem with the focus on the camera necessitated 14 takes.

"It was the most bizarre, perverse scene," said our witness. "One girl on the crew broke down crying."

Jack Birch is a former hard core porn film actor from the '70's, who co-starred with his wife, Thora's mother, in four features. Currently he has a voice over part in an animated sci-fi/horror flick called 'Monster Mountain'. His IMDB page says that he hasn't had any credited film roles since 1992.
