Are Casting Directors the Most Dimwitted Members of the Movie Community?
Who ever thought that a red haired Irish woman with blue green eyes could play an Indian? The same dolt who thought that Ukrainian Natalie Wood could play a Puerto Rican??? And the truly outrageous thing is that obviously outrageous miscasting such as those two examples is not a thing of the past. In the 1970s, Bernardo Bertolucci proposed to the government of Peru an epic about Tupac Amaru. BB then totally antagonised the Peruvians with his choices to play Amaru and the Inca princess who would be his love interest.
Who were his preposterous choices?
