On Who I Would Turn to if I Was a Film Director and Eva Marie Saint Had Refused My Offer to Play a Part

There would have been a lot of solid (1950s) choices to pick from (Carroll Baker and Jean Simmons, for example) but if I had to narrow it down to just one, I'd likely go with Lee Remick. She's a bit younger than Eva (11 years, I think) but they're cut from the same cloth of approachable beauty and acting versatility and they could easily pass for sisters. If only I could have employed them both.
