Those who don’t already know this trivia, anyway. Just listened to Edward Albee in a radio interview, and he said that when he originally sold the movie rights to Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf to Hollywood, he asked who they had in mind to star.
Bette Davis and James Mason.
Wow. What might have been.
I still like much of what Burton and Taylor did in the roles, but she was 20 years too young for the part (remember, Martha is supposed to be older than George).
Someone, one day, will digitise that movie with CGI of Davis and Mason. The first few goes will probably be crap, but one day they’ll get it pretty damn good.
Won’t that be fun?

Wow – what a great thought – CGI Mason and Davis! Mason was supposed to have starred with Greta Garbo at one point, too. She was coming out of retirement to do a movie with him. Another lost might have been that could be rescued.
