PrometheusTree64 says > Bette Davis as Luz?...Could it have happened?
I guess it should be a simple yes or no answer but after considering the question, I find I can't answer it.
I don't really know what purpose Luz played in the movie. Okay, she was a thorn in Leslie's side, her gift to Jett is what launched his rise to success, she caused the horse to be injured then put down, and one of the kids was named for her, but, in my opinion that could have been done much better in other ways.
The actress won an Oscar and there was talk of putting really big name actresses in the role like Davis. I don't get it. It wasn't a very big role and, as I said before, was, I felt, mostly unnecessary in the scheme of things.
Whatever stage she may have been at in her career, I don't understand why someone like Bette Davis would even want that role. I also don't understand why she would be considered for it. When Luz was in the movie Bick was in his younger years. One could have a much older sister but I think Davis would have been too old at that point to believably play the young Bick's sister. She also couldn't pull off being on a horse riding it the way Luz did when she was killed.
(SIGH) I was hoping to find clarity on these boards because I didn't get the movie. So far, I'm more confused than ever. The more I think about it the less sense it makes.
