"Kristen Wiig has confessed that she felt &amp;quot;honoured&amp;quot; to work with Jill Clayburgh in Bridesmaids before the actress died.  Clayburgh passed away in November 2010 after a long struggle with leukaemia at the age of 66.  Talking to US Weekly, Wiig, who co-wrote and co-starred in the film, described Clayburgh as a &amp;quot;maternal&amp;quot; spirit on set and revealed that several of the late actress&amp;#039;s &amp;quot;dirty&amp;quot; jokes were removed from the final cut out of respect.  &amp;quot;I felt honored the moment she signed on to do the film. She was a very maternal, nurturing spirit,&amp;quot; Wiig explained.  &amp;quot;She was also game for anything. There were times when she was saying things and I would just start laughing. I was like, &amp;#039;Oh, my god, I&amp;#039;m making Jill Clayburgh talk about motor-boating&amp;#039;, which didn&amp;#039;t end up in the movie. She was amazing.&amp;quot; Bridesmaids co-star Jon Hamm recently revealed that he had &amp;quot;fun&amp;quot; shooting sex scenes for the movie with Wiig.
