| The film of "Li'l Abner" didn't have Edith (Edie) Adams, but instead substituted Leslie Parrish as Daisy Mae, and instead of Charlotte Rae, it had Billie Hayes who I think later took over the role, as Mammy Yokum. I don't know if Stella Stevens played Appassionata on stage at some point, but it was originally Tina Louise. But they did use a lot of the original cast and the highly lauded Michael Kidd choreography was recreated for the film. |
