Should Crown Have Picked Vicki (Faye D) Or Stayed With Gwen (Astrid H)?


Should Thomas Crown Have Picked Vicki (Faye Dunaway) Or Stayed With Gwen (Astrid Heeren)?

I know that Faye Dunaway's character of Vicki was written to be more of a challenge to Steve McQueen's character of Thomas Crown (TC), however Asrid Heeren's charater of Gwen had a lot going for her.

Gwen was beautiful.

Gwen was young but worldly.

Gwen was available with a simple telephone call.

Gwen looks great in just her panties getting out of bed.

Gwen would pick TC up after he went hang-gliding.

Gwen cared about TC. She is upset that he takes chances on landing the glider.

Gwen would not get you locked up for robbery.

I think the writer or director made a mistake in not making Gwen have more flaws. It made it real hard for me to side with Faye Dunaway.

Here is a hot photo of Asrid Heeren:

I agree; Faye Dunaway looked like a cow compared to Astrid.

Not a chance. Nobody could make Faye Dunaway look unattractive. That's what she did to others

Gwen. She didn't mind being second. He may have loved Vicky, but she would never take him on his terms. Vicky wouldn't be a "mafia wife".
