‘Prankster’ Arnold Schwarzenegger Convinced ‘Gullible’ Penelope Ann Miller That She Was Fooled And Bought A Used BMW On Kindergarten Cop, Actress Recalls

As a lifestyle expert with a penchant for Hollywood history, I must say that stories like Penelope Ann Miller’s from the Kindergarten Cop set are a delightful reminder of the human side of our beloved stars. The anecdote she shared about Arnold Schwarzenegger pranking her is not just amusing, but it also showcases the camaraderie and playful spirit that often thrives on movie sets.


Actress Penelope Ann Miller remembers fondly one unforgettable moment from the Kindergarten Cop set, where she spent time with Arnold Schwarzenegger, the muscular Austrian actor. In a recent interview, Miller revealed that while filming their 1990 movie together, the former California governor played a practical joke on her.

On the Still Here Hollywood podcast, the actress referred to Schwarhennegger as a “great joker” or “loves pulling pranks”.

She then recounted the entire scenario that took place between her and the Commando actor.

On the set of Kindergarten Cop, Penelope Ann Miller had recently acquired a brand new car – an event that stirred quite a buzz since it was her very first automobile. The excitement peaked when Arnold Schwarzenegger noticed this fresh vehicle.

The actress who played Reagan reminisced about her gleaming red BMW, and invited Schwarzenegger out from his trailer, as she did so.

As the two stars approached the car, the True Lies actor asked Miller whether the car was new.

A nervous Miller anxiously replied that she had just bought it.

Upon examining the vehicle, Arnold Schwarzenegger expressed some uncertainty, saying “I’m not sure, Penelope,” as the actress from The Birth of a Nation remembered. He walked around the car, even peeking underneath for a closer look.

Later on, Miller instructed Schwarzenegger to examine the mileage counter, which displayed “0”. In response, he mentioned that automakers frequently reset the mileage counter, implying that the vehicle could have already been driven prior to this reading.

The American Dresser actress believed she was tricked into purchasing a used car from BMW, but later discoveries revealed that she, in fact, was the one who had been misled in the transaction.

In the podcast, Penelope Ann Miller later reminisced that she had planned to phone the dealer and say, “Arnold Schwarzenegger informed me I bought a second-hand vehicle from you!

Observing her anxious demeanor, the actor from Terminator 2: Judgment Day subsequently referred to her as “easily misled.

In my fervent enthusiasm, I couldn’t help but note that my beloved co-star is always the life of the party, cracking jokes left and right during our filmmaking adventures.

During her podcast, Ann Miller also admired the entrepreneurial traits in the actor who portrayed Conan the Barbarian.

She discussed the fact that Schwarzenegger was deeply engaged in all facets of a film, not just acting but also delving into aspects like its box office performance and beyond.
