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.
Link Streep, Streisand eye ‘Sunset Blvd’
