Has anyone spotted the incredible Diana Sands in this film? I own the DVD, have watched it countless times, and have yet to pinpoint her. In what scene[s] does she appear? Did her role end up on the cutting room floor a la Charles Nelson Reilly's?

I believe she's the woman "with troubles" in one of the Memphis television scenes. Her house had burned down with no insurance and Lonesome Rhoades appeals to the audience to send in two bits to help her. Later they send in 18K plus quarters displayed in a wheelbarrow.

Thanks for your response! I believe that character is played by a much older, heavier actress; I'll watch again, though. Appreciate the help! Any other takers?

the woman 'with troubles' is not diana sands.
diana sands looked completely different.
It may have been cut. She was one of my favorites and I'm sure I would have noticed her. She would have been in her early 20s, and I don't remember any young, attractive African American women in the movie.
(I thought I already responded, so I hope this doesn't show up twice.)
I didn't get a good look, but what about the girl who asks Mr. Rhodes if he wants a cup of coffee, triggering an explosion when Rhodes asks if that is "your subtle way" of insinuating he's been drinking? Was that Diana Sands?
