| Interesting. I loved Lois Nettleton's Blanche and though I would possibly agree with you that she was sane compared to other Blanches I have seen, she was definitely IMO traumatized. That production was one of my favorite productions I have ever seen of the play and of course Lois Nettleton replaced and based her interpretation on that of Rosemary Harris who originated the role in that revival. I personally think Nettleton was even better than Harris, who was great. | |

| I think Lois Nettleton did a guest spot as a TV producer who had some authority over Lou Grant—and pursued him romantically. I think she also caught George Costanza going through the garbage and wanted her daughter to break up with him. Lois Nettleton—always worked—for years |

| The sanest Blanche I've seen was Cate Blanchette. She was Stanley's equal from her first meeting with him, mixing active seduction in equal parts with her belittling of him. And the "rape" scene was ambiguous. It seemed likely that Blanche's claim to Stella that she had been raped was a tactical move, and that Stella's choosing to believe Stanley over her sister was a practical choice. db |
