| You're right about Arthur -- definitely out of her depth. Edie Adams, although a little too old, had the comic acting chops and physical attributes the role requires. She was still pretty sexy looking in '67. North was a fine actress, but more of a temptress and always looked like she'd been around the block too many times. Van Doren and Mansfield didn't have the talent. Barbara Eden, Barbara Nichols (also a bit too old, but the right type), and Diane Cilento might have worked in the role. | |
