Casting the Women of Valley of the Dolls | PT 1 (2023x10)

Air date: Sep 11, 2023

In this video I talk about how they cast Valley of the Dolls. You'll learn more about the cast that nearly happened (Raquel Welch, Candice Bergen, Barbra Streisand, Lee Remick, Natalie Wood, Ann-Margret, and Bette Davis), and all about the women who actually got the roles (Barbara Parkins, Sharon Tate, Patty Duke, Judy Garland). Stay tuned for PART 2 where I get into Susan Hayward, why everybody hated Mark Robson, and what this "terrible" film did to their careers.
