Did anyone hear this trivia?


Don't know where I read this, but Meryl Streep said she was considered for the role and to do nudity on the condition that Nicholson did the same thing. He said he wouldn't and so she passed.

Uh, is there a version of this movie in which Jessica Lange is nude? In the version I've seen twice, the most you see of her is her leg when Nicholson lifts her to the table, and her breasts when he fondles her THROUGH HER CLOTHES. It's a very sexy movie but it's achieved through suggestion and good acting rather than nudity. (And I can't imagine Streep in this part anyway).

We know she turned it down, that's all that's known. Which is good! As great as Meryl is, this isn't a role she could've done as well as Lange.
