...I was being facetious with my suggestion of Bebe. Her Nickie was so great, I wish it had been preserved on film, but, of course, she has now aged out of the role--even if we are willing to imagine Nickie as having been around the block quite a few times.
Your point about the ages of the other actors is well made. In the specific case of Applegate, she just turned 49; Verdon was 41 when she originated it, so I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility. I suspect her celebrity would be the bigger issue. |
