[QUOTE="Richard Denault, post: 374244, member: 23030"] For the record Jane Wyman never claimed “she wanted to rival Marlene Dietrich in beauty and eleganc was Hitchcock said in his interview with Francois Truffaut about “Stage Fright.” [I][B]He said every time that "every time Jane went to see Marlenne at the screenings she compared herself to Marlenne and she would start crying."[/B][/I] Stupid because Maelenne was not a good actress but she was a very attractive woman and it was impossible to rival Marlenne in that aspect. I think our friend Brian quoted this phrase that defines it very well. [B]In "Hollywood Babble On", Marlene Dietrich is quoted as saying: "I made a movie for Alfred Hitchcock. Jane Wyman was in it. I heard she only wanted to do it if she was billed above me, and she got her wish. Hitchcock didn't think much of it. She looks too much like a victim to play a heroine, and God knows I couldn't play a mysterious woman, that was my role. Miss Wyman seems like a mystery that no one has bothered to solve.[/B] [/QUOTE]
