  • She was director Roman Polanski`s first choice for the title role in Rosemary`s Baby (1968) because he thought her pure, American looks would contrast well with the film`s dark undertones. The studio preferred Mia Farrow, however, who had become a star on the enormously popular night-time soap opera "Peyton Place" (1964). A few years later, Polanski wanted her to star in his film version of The Tragedy of Macbeth (1971). She lost the part when she refused to do a nude sleepwalking scene. The role was eventually played by Francesca Annis.
