I saw on a site tonight that John Badham had to try and "pry the chemist from the two leads because they hated each other".
Is there any truth in that??

Sounds like a woman who knows what she wants! My kind of idol! lol
Yeah, he didn't really discribe her very romantically, and thought that Jan should have been cast as Lucy instead for awhile until he realised that she was perfect for the part.

The "very, very strong and determined" comment is from Langella in the DVD's "making of" featurette, which is very interesting in several respects.
shareHilarious!
Its sounds as if she was too much woman for him! lol
No, they eated each other.

Please put some dashes above your sig line so I won't think it's part of your dumb post.
Kate seems like a bit of a head strong woman. I don't know, she just gives off the vibe that she'd be difficult to work with.
shareI agree and I think they wanted a headstrong woman for the part, because this Lucy is definitely not a wimp.
I've never heard about Frank and Kate hating each other before. If they did, they disguised it well on-screen.
I did read that for a relatively unknown actor at the time, he had a great deal of say into how the Count was portrayed onscreen. This was part of his contract, as he'd come from a very successful Broadway production of Dracula with similar themes to this movie.

Thing is, though... he didn't need to show his fangs.
We know he has them, and they left marks, therefore there's no need to remind us of that, by showing them to us. His Dracula goes in for subtly rather than overt horror. (The longer you think about him, and how he treats Lucy and Mina, the more interesting the horror aspect becomes.)
