I'm sure you've seen the "on the set" footage shot be Kubrick's wife during production. Kubrick just doesn't seem to like her very much, and her complaints about working while sick seem a little melodramatic.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730146625671701859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-33766012571046360172007-08-29T19:01:00.000-07:002007-08-29T19:01:00.000-07:00This will be no surprise, Jonathan, that I absolut...This will be no surprise, Jonathan, that I absolutely agree with that thought. Duvall was so perfect in the part that I thought hers was the performance of 1980. <BR/>I bet Altman imagining her in the role was a great motivation for him.<BR/><BR/>It's sad to think, though, that this was the last time she ever worked for him. As Eric states in his article, Altman was apparently miffed by a change he perceived in Duvall which some say he attributed to her experience with Stanley Kubrick.Dennis Cozzaliohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01954848938471883431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8795280.post-1670153643094218612007-08-29T06:37:00.000-07:002007-08-29T06:37:00.000-07:00Who would have ever thought it was possible for so...Who would have ever thought it was possible for someone on the planet Earth to be "born to play" Olive Oyl from the Popeye cartoons? <BR/><BR/>She is so perfect for the part that I wonder if Altman decided to do it for that reason alone?Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730146625671701859noreply@blogger.com
