What about Linda Lavin?--she was at the height of her television fame at that time. Certainly would have had to have been scheduled around her tv schedule. She returned to Broadway as soon as the tv show ended.

I think she would not have been able to sign for more than three or four months because of the shooting schedule. So then they would have to find someone to replace her. As it turned out, it ran only four months more anyway but I'm sure they were hoping for more.
