Melinda Dillon
As I was watching the credits of this movie, I noticed that Melinda Dillon played both Mary Guthrie and Memphis Sue. Sometimes, actors can be cast in two roles in a film, but there's usually a reason. The only reason I can come up with for the same actress to play these two roles is that they were both rooting for Woody to play whatever the station wanted him to play in order to get more money. Maybe it's just Hal Ashby taking cinematic liberties, but it sure leaves me scratching my head.
