| I saw Close in the original production........then Elaine Paige and Glenn Close once again a few years ago. I felt she owned it.....living the part and it would be great if a film version ever came to fruition. She was robbed of the Oscar last year | |

| I saw Close and Paige. Close was remarkable, making the character totally her own—not a pale imitation of Gloria Swanson. Paige aimed to honor Swanson, but it didn't work for me. | |

| I've always felt that Streisand should play Norma, but I've never heard/read her name being mentioned for SUNSET (outside of the two brilliant solos on her album). Does anybody have any info on this? | |

| There has been MUCH speculation over the years of her wanting to do the film, including one from Variety linked below. | |
