I like Tuesday Weld, also. She was excellent in "Pretty Poison" and I enjoyed seeing her giving it to her uber bitch Momma. (Actually, the slap back is even better than the final confrontation.) I think they wanted her for "Bonnie and Clyde", but she was pregnant.

Not only could Lange's searing performance not have been bettered, but Jessica Lange just physically resembled Frances Farmer so much it's almost spooky. Poor Frances.

I have only seen PP once. Will need to revisit. Have it on vhs.

Yes, I think Lange was the best choice and she perhaps has a stronger screen presence and charisma than Weld. Not to undermine Weld's own talent. Weld was apparently Polanski's choice for Rosemary, alongside Robert Redford. I don't think either of them were keen to do the film.

Yeah, I remember reading that. Which is funny because rarely has a movie been better cast. John Cassavetes oozes a slimy narcissism, and Mia Farrow is the epitome of a spooky feyness. And, of course, Ruth Gordon is deliciously sinister.

Robert Redford. I don't mind him, though he could go on the list of expressionless actors. His blonde good looks did nothing for me, though I could see why the ladies went for him. He did not seem conceited, unlike his dark-haired peer, Warren Beatty, who is also quite bland.
