I have read with great interest the debates and ideas generated by the discussion of who would play the lead roles in any Vance novels adapted for the movies (see J. McDonough 11/26/96 and Per Sundfeldt 11?10/96). However at this stage I feel the argument has become extremely lopsided, because only one perspective has been examined. Namely who would play the roles of the Vance heroes such as Kirth Gersen, Adam Reith, Cugel etc.
The question I pose is who would play the women! Fantastic creatures such as Wayness Tamm, Zap 210, Alice Wroke, Allusz Tokay Epherigima (spelling?), the tragic Sessily Veeder, Derl the Flower of Cath, Tatzel, the list while not endless is certainly extensive.
Who dares to pose mortals for these incomparables from Vance’s imagination?
