No More Conroy

Hi Wendy:

I'm crazy about the scenario! As far as I'm concerned, Conroy is out and Wasserstein is in. I know it's early to talk about casting, but have you considered Betsy McCaughey Ross as Scarlett? Not only does she have the right edge for the part, but we can go to her husband, Wilbur, for financing. Plus, if you would consider Paula Jones for Belle Watling (not "Watkins," my dear), we might get Abe Hirschfeld to kick in a million orso. Is Jesse Ventura single?

xxxooo,

Stephen
