I did not know that Curtiz was considering her for "Mildred Pierce". Interesting. Crawford was certainly memorable in that role.Jacqueline T.

Interestingly, this was supposed to be something of a "dress rehearsal" with Curtiz. He had her in mind for the title role in "Mildred Pierce." However much I adore Russell, I am glad she ended up not doing the picture because I can't imagine anyone other than Joan Crawford in the role.Miss Fiercehttp://www.mildredfierce.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7092350404895325373.post-84641610345513020232010-12-04T16:33:40.088-05:002010-12-04T16:33:40.088-05:00Welcome, Kevin, and thank you for your kind commen...Welcome, Kevin, and thank you for your kind comments.
