Is Dwan SUPPOSED to be...


a f v c k ing creepy whackadoodle or is this simply the result of Jessica Lange herself being creepy and therefore making the character of Dwan come off as creepy? Jessica Lange has always been really weird to me. There is something very odd, distant/vacant and almost inhuman about her. The only movie she has ever even been sort of normal in is Tootsie. Aside from that she is always freakish. I just can't tell if that was the intention in King Kong or if she made it so.

She's meant to be ditsy.

Don't understand what's creepy or 'whackadoodle' about Dwan.

That aloof performance does not work in the 70s.

I thought she was cute.

I met Jessica Lange, 12 years after this movie , and she was charming and gorgeous.
