Kristin Scott Thomas was perfect

The producers had to fight for the casting of Kristin Scott Thomas, the studio wanted Demi Moore, and what a joy for Saul Zaentz to have never relented and kept Ms. Thomas as Katharine because she was exquisite. Katharine had to be a woman who inspired passion and yearning and Kristin Scott Thomas had the special glow. A charismatic leading lady, chic, classic and witty.
