The casting and makeup choices behind Marla Singer
A film-trivia thread says the studio preferred Reese Witherspoon for Marla, but she declined because of the dark material.
TLDR
A film-trivia thread says David Fincher reportedly considered Reese Witherspoon, Winona Ryder, Janeane Garofalo and Courtney Love for Marla Singer. It says the studio favored Witherspoon, who declined over the dark material, while Helena Bonham Carter was cast after Fincher admired her in “The Wings of the Dove.” The thread says Bonham Carter drew partly on Judy Garland’s stage persona, asked for left-handed makeup application and said the smoking gave her bronchitis.
