Trouble sleeping
February 7th, 2007Okay, I admit it. I had trouble getting to sleep last night after the glowing review I got at Midwest Book Reviews (MBR Bookwatch, Volume 6, Number 2). The reviewer made the comment that it “could easily convert to an enticing television movie” and I spent hours casting the various roles. While I’m open to suggestions, here’s what I’ve got so far.
Detective Stan Nevins — Johnny Depp. Wouldn’t he look great in western wear?
Senior Center Director Teresa Cusentino — I had a problem with this. Teresa is definitely Italian, definitely curvaceous. Know anyone who fits that description and could play a thirty-seven-year old?
Stunning Stella — I have no idea who she is but I’m thinking of the white-haired woman who does the new mayonnaise tv commercial. She reminds me very much of one of the winners of the MORE magazine model contest. Hint - she has black eyebrows.
The Professor — James Woods
Ellie Montgomery — no contest here. It would have to be the lady who played Marie on Everybody Loves Raymond, Doris Roberts. She’d have to wear a long faded red wig and a ballcap, but she’s my only choice.
Jack Buchtel — I’m actually leaning toward Danny DeVito. Since he’s almost bald, he’d need a ton of facial hair and a curly grizzled wig.
Margaret Neal — Betty White, assuming she’s still alive and would be willing.

Part of my problem is that I don’t watch enough TV or movies to know anyone to suggest. I do know Doris Roberts…Danny DeVito…and think I know who Johnny Depp is. Other than that, I have no suggestions.
