Adaptations: Uma Thurman and Anjelica Huston as Fay and Julia in Brief Lives (1990).

With 2 main protagonists who are performers, this book is AB's most dramatic in the traditional sense.


My other castings:
Mia Farrow as Blanche Vernon in A Misalliance (1986)
Jennifer Connolly as Claire Pitt in Undue Influence (1999)
Christina Ricci as Frances Hinton in Look at Me (1983)
Chloe Sevigny and Maggie Cheung as Rachel and Heather in A Friend from England (1987)
