This aligns with my memory -- a professional, respectable performance, but not on the level of Lavin or Elizabeth Franz.
I recall that in Leslie Bennetts' excellent biography of Rivers, Last Girl Before Freeway, she wrote that the cast was initially very cold toward Rivers. Apparently they felt that Elizabeth Franz, who was well liked, had been pushed out in favor of stunt casting. But Bennetts wrote that Rivers won the cast over with her professionalism and determination to give a good performance. |
