| I could be totally wrong about this dispute with the producers stuff. Alan could be right above. All I really do remember for sure is that she left the role and regretted it and then returned when the role became available again. | |

| I also remember from childhood a commercial she did upon her return. It was her and David Rounds sitting in a restaurant (Sardi's maybe) and sort of boasting about their performances and then they both turn to each other to casually show off their Tonys. They were sitting at different tables with their backs to each other each (in character) explaining how their show was better. Rounds had won a Tony for Morning's at Seven which had the same producers as The Elephant Man and they often ran joint ads. (Rounds is in the TV movie strangely enough though Carole isn't. BTW if you have Amazon Prime the TV film is free for viewing.) |

| Rounds isn't in the 1982 tv movie directed by Vivan Matalon; it was Robert Moberly. | |

| According to IMDB and the opening credits Rounds is listed. I started watching it last night. I'll see if he shows up. | |

| PlayWiz is talking about the television adaptation of Vivian Matalon's production of Morning's at Seven, for which Rounds won a Tony onstage but he's not in the television version, while you're talking about the television production of The Elephant Man. | |

| Which begs the question: Why didn't David Rounds re-create his Tony-winning role in the TV movie of ''Morning's at Seven''? (The TV version includes Broadway members of that 1980 revival, like Elizabeth Wilson, Teresa Wright, Maureen O'Sullivan …) |

| In the case of Morning's at Seven it's easy to answer. It's the tour cast that was filmed. Only four of the nine cast members who opened the revival at the Lyceum toured, and so only those four — Maurice Copeland, Maureen O'Sullivan, Elizabeth Wilson and Teresa Wright — were in the television filming. | |
