"Mary-Louise Parker"

Except the audience will hope that the gun shows up when Parker first opens her mouth. I can't take another one of Parker's crazy performances. She needs to play normal for awhile.


If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Since we're dream casting, I'll put aside the fact that she's already slated for an upcoming musical, and cast Toni Collette with Patty Duke.

I saw the original and I never, ever want to see it again.

"Except that neither is really right for the roles. And to an extent, neither is Lange and Paulson.

You need actresses that can be believed as simple, country folk."

I think Sarah Paulson could definitely be perceived as simple and country. Jessica Lange, maybe not so much, though I'd still kill to see her do it. I think they'd bring a unique intensity to it. I don't know that "county folk" is that essential to the play. Maybe I've never thought of it that way as much as I concentrate on the mother/daughter relationship.
