Characters Recasted

[Ray_Krebbs]

Are there characters you could see other actors in their place? Nothing against Gayle Hannicutt, but neither she nor Hagman looked anything like Sasha Mitchell. How about Stephanie Beacham, who played Sable Colby in the Dynasty shows? I think she looks believable as a mother of James, and I think she could've added an edge to Vanessa.

Or could James have been a different actor who looked more like Vanessa and JR?

I liked Gayle Hannicutt but thought the style they gave her made her look older than she was hence a part the often negative backlash. I do agree Stephanie Beacham could have been an alternative.

The same could be said about Rebecca Wentworth. She and Digger/Hutch McKinney not looking like Pam.

How about Audrey Hepburn or Jane Wyman as Rebecca?

I thought Priscilla Pointer did look like Victoria Principal; she and Morgan Brittany were both very well cast from that point of view, in my opinion.

Audrey Hepburn surely could have pulled it off but I couldn't see her doing American TV at that time. I also couldn't see her doing a secondary role such as Rebecca Wentworth.
