Carroll Baker Miscast in This


Carroll Baker was definitely miscast in this! It took me a while to realize that she was supposed to be a Spanish girl.

reply

If you believe she was miscast because of her fair hair and skin, you're wrong. There are plenty of Spaniards who are blond-haired and blue-eyed, especially in the regions of Galicia and Asturias.

But she had her hair dyed black for this film.

Your right, she did. So I wonder exactly what about her made it so difficult for the writer of the previous comments to see as a "Spanish" girl.

reply

Really Carroll Baker's hair color is irrelevant to her casting - is she credible as Teresa the novice? I think that she is.
Actually I think that Carroll's natural haircolor was brunette - see her in her debut film EASY TO LOVE.
