I read an article where Catherine Hardwicke talking about using her "magical bed" to audition actors. That's what happened for Kristen and Rob, and that's also how Nikki Reed and Evan Rachel Wood met (for the Thirteen movie).
Using one's own bedroom for auditions sounds creepy.

Do those still take quarters, or has the price gone up?

Okay, okay, to be fair it's not clear if "magic bed" was Catherine's phrase or the reporter's. Here's the excerpt: source

Is this usual? It sounds really creepy and unprofessional but perhaps I'm just uptight about How Things Should Be.

Well, aside from the "casting couch," I've never heard of anything like that at all. How creepy.
"Could you come into my bedroom and make out for a while? I'd like to see if you have any chemistry."

This sounds like something strange a male director would try. I guess female directors are just as strange.

Can you imagine the uproar if it had been a male director talking about his "magic bed?"

This is my favorite line from the review angelaudie linked on the last page:
Good article. Short and sweet and snarky.
