Hmmm, Gretchen Mol. confused
Well, I guess I'm not too surprised. After all, Jennifer Love Hewitt played Audrey Hepburn, and Neve Campbell is set to play Louise Brooks.

She doesn't look as miscast as I initially imagined.

Wow, I wonder if it'll pick up across the rest of the U.S. I would really be interested in seeing it. Sounds like a great film.

I remember talking about this sometime ago.
Geraldine, I think you were in this coversation too! Back when it was Liv Tyler who had signed on to play her.
I think at one point Martin Scorsese showed interest in directing it.
I'm still kinda "ehhhhhh" about Grechen Moll, even with the spiffy black hair.

Am I the only person who finds Bettie Page a tad overrated?
