Cat Ballou : ANN-MARGARET WOULD HAVE ADDED A LOT

ANN-MARGARET WOULD HAVE ADDED A LOT

SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN WAY BETTER, SEXIER, AND MORE IMPORTENT IN THE ROLSE OF CAT THAN THE WITCH FONDA.

Re: ANN-MARGARET WOULD HAVE ADDED A LOT

I can't agree. Jane Fonda was excellent in this role. I suspect your opinion has something to do with your politics.

Re: ANN-MARGARET WOULD HAVE ADDED A LOT

The posts from Fonda haters always tell us more about them than about Jane.

Re: ANN-MARGARET WOULD HAVE ADDED A LOT

I actually saw a bumper sticker with reference to Hanoi Jane on the submarine base in Groton a couple of years ago. The car was newish so they must have saved the bumper sticker from earlier.

Wouldn't it be nice if we judged actors/actresses on their acting rather than their personal/political/religious lives?

Re: ANN-MARGARET WOULD HAVE ADDED A LOT

Ann-Margret would have been an excellent Cat, but she'd have played it like Annie Oakley, without the vulnerability that Jane Fonda brought to the character.

Conventionality is not morality.

Re: ANN-MARGARET WOULD HAVE ADDED A LOT

Sorry, But Ann didn't have the right "spunk" that Jane brings to the role. Ann is perfect for movies like "Bye Bye Birdie" and "Viva las Vegas" but not satiracal movies like Cat Ballou. Ann's good, but lets face it Jane is the better actress by far. All politics aside.

Re: ANN-MARGARET WOULD HAVE ADDED A LOT

Ann-Margaret would have added a lot - - - to my pants, and I think I could have solved the right "spunk" problem for her.

Give me a call Ann, I'll fix ya' right up.

Re: ANN-MARGARET WOULD HAVE ADDED A LOT

Ann-Margaret as Cat Ballou's slutty sister. Yeah, right.
LOL Ann-Margaret. What a whore.

Re: ANN-MARGARET WOULD HAVE ADDED A LOT

There's no need to post garbage like that reb73162.



Ann-Margret was offered the role but turned it down due to the advice of her managers at the time. I would like to have seen what she could have done with the role.

Re: ANN-MARGARET WOULD HAVE ADDED A LOT

Jane is certainly the more gifted actress, but in this case Ann-Margaret would have been a suitable choice as well. The role is hardly taxing or deep. Jane brings more intelligence; Ann more sultriness.

While I like Ann Margaret I don't think the movie would have worked as well with her as Cat. Jane Fonda was very beautiful but also came across as brainy. Ann Margaret seemed to be more sex-pot. I feel that Ann Margaret's Cat would have relied more on her looks and sex appeal to get her way rather than thinking outside the box. Would Ann's Cat gotten her hands dirty (so to speak) by actually taking up a life a crime? I don't think so. She would have seduced a man to do it for her.

For me Cat Ballou was a modern type of woman and Jane Fonda captured that quality.

Re: ANN-MARGARET WOULD HAVE ADDED A LOT

Good point. Jane as in Comes a Horseman is more convincing as a grown up tomboy.

I've never seen a man get through a day so fast.

Re: ANN-MARGARET WOULD HAVE ADDED A LOT

I love Ann-Margaret, and have a strong dislike of Jane Fonda. That being said, I disagree with you completely. I just couldn't help but fall in love with Cat Ballou in this film. Hard not to. She was perfect in that role. Ann-Margaret may have been great as well, but I wouldn't have it any other way. Jane Fonda was excellent.

Re: ANN-MARGARET WOULD HAVE ADDED A LOT

Love her or hate her, Jane Fonda had one thing over Ann Margaret.

She was a much better actress.

Re: ANN-MARGARET WOULD HAVE ADDED A LOT

Ann-Margret would have been perfect for this part.

Re: ANN-MARGARET WOULD HAVE ADDED A LOT

She wouldn't have added THAT much. A-M didn't get her implants until 1971. Fonda waited until she was married to Ted Turner.
