Even now (but then in particular as she could've easily fallen into the typecasting woodchipper), she chooses roles that keep us guessing. If there's any trend she's taken, it's that she's always said yes to roles that she's not done before.

I don't know about you but I always chuckle when I read that Goldie Hawn, Barbra Streisand and Diane Keaton were all tipped for early Meryl Streep roles... it shows what a barrier she had to break through to get the parts.

I noticed the real Crawford tap her finger on her chin in a TV interview from the 1960s, and it reminded me of a cinematic moment in some period movie that I couldn't recall... it was years before I realised which actor and film it was: Vanessa Redgrave in 'Howards End'. <br /><br />These women have the same stature, facial structure and Redgrave coulda done it no sweat!<br /><br />Anyway, apologies for hijacking your recasting thread with several other recasts... I'm enjoying your articles a lot.Michael Burgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09718312125832719092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3751049975001656578.post-1365855682990111172020-07-29T14:03:02.757-05:002020-07-29T14:03:02.757-05:00Also it would have been an early Sondheim collab a...Also it would have been an early Sondheim collab as he wrote the song "Goodbye for Now" for it after Beatty didn't like his scoring... and had him replaced.JMLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05516296127043881144noreply@blogger.com
