Dana Gordon, a stand-in actress on “Who’s the Boss?” filed a $5 million suit Monday against its star, Tony Danza, claiming she was fired for breaking off a relationship with Danza’s brother, Matty. Gordon, 23, said in the Los Angeles Superior Court suit that Matty Danza--a frequent visitor to the show’s set--harassed and physically abused her after she stopped dating him in December, 1986. She alleges in the suit that Danza continued to harass her for the next three months before brother Tony told her on March 5: “I have a problem. My brother is very upset. You either make my brother happy or you are not going to work on my show.” The next day, Gordon claims, Tony Danza told her to leave the set. Also named in the suit: producers John Anderson, Martin Cohan and Blake Hunter and Embassy Communications. An attorney for Columbia/Embassy said at press time that the principals had not been served 2003399784
