I would have really loved to see her do this role... I think in many ways it is ideally suited to her. I have no idea if she can do accent, or play the dark drama of it, but I think seeing her try would have been so interesting. And she was surely still a name to many people especially on Broadway. To match her with a project like this would have been newsworthy I'd think.
I also wonder if they approached Julie Andrews, who could at least do the accent, and would have been fascinating in the role and a big draw.
What about Georgia Brown? Or Cleo Laine? Even Penny Fuller (not much of a name I assume but probably very capable for the role)? Or what about Millicent Martin or Julia McKenzie? |
