For no real reason other than I think Laura Dern is a very good actress and MARY WORTH occupies part of my brain, I am trying to think who I would cast in a MARY WORTH movie and where she would fit into it.
i don't know if i ever really posted about this but this movie was made in baltimore by people i became friends-of-friends with a few years afterwards when i moved there. the woman playing mary was someone i knew pretty well but didn't make the connection for YEARS bc she's unrecognizable in this
I totally only know about it because of the Comics Curmudgeon (you posted it, or maybe some of it, way back when), but don’t remember the details, so this is fun news to hear!
I think about it every once a while and it never fails to crack me up because it’s so spot-on and deliberately bleak.
Paul Giamatti as Aldo! And/or Wilbur! And/or Ian! I am not averse to making this a DR. STRANGELOVE/Peter Sellers thing and having him play all these parts.
I think that’s an excellent choice! She’s always so naturally good and could easily flip the weird switch between nice and threatening that Mary does every once in a while.
