Funny audition story
Just had to share this little story. When they were casting the role of Eileen Webster, actress Dina Merrill was asked to audition for the part. Marlon wasn't fond of her and refused to do the screen test with her and she was told that she would have to do it with a stand in, she replied that isn't fair I'll either do it with Brando or not at all. So Brando agreed but was quite brash with her, Dina told him to the lines of listen buddy you've already got the part, give me a break. Marlon replied with "you are one tough broad". Of course as we know Patricia Owens got the part but I thought it was a cute story when Dina Merrill mentioned it in an interview.
