Yeah, and besides the whole "diaper" thing, I think she probably made the right casting choice when she gave to part to Mandy.CinemaInternational wrote: ↑May 6th, 2024, 6:11 pmOriginally she thought of casting Richard Gere in the part. That would have been odd. (The scene in 1985's King David where Gere prances around the streets of Jerusalem wearing only a pair of underwear that looks like a diaper is one of those memorably bad scenes one can never forget.)Dargo wrote: ↑May 6th, 2024, 6:08 pmBUT, evidently NOT hot enough for Babs' tastes, anyway.
I say this because when she was recently interviewed by Stephen Colbert about her new published autobiography (when they taped it at her Malibu mansion and shown later on his program), she mentioned the part book in her book where she was competely turned off by him and due to his saying to her as filming for 'Yentl' began that he naturally assumed they were going to have an affair.
(...guess Babs doesn't care for the presumptious type, and no matter how much beefcake they're a'packin', huh!)
As Gere has always seemed to me to be best cast in more contemporary roles, and far less so in period pieces.
