Was Dana Delany miscast?

Mercurio was the one miscast !!! He didnt know what the heck he was doing.....There was hardly any chemistry there!!

The part should have gone to Rick Moranis, Paul Hogan or jim Carey, or a comic actor

Yes, she was. She was like a bored housewife trying to be a dominatrix but not really interested in doing it.

Yes.

Same Rules Apply

I do recall thinking she looked uncomfortable with the nudity and subject matter. She may have also worked out that she signed on for a crap film and didn't care anymore.

I felt bad for her actually, she seemed that uncomfortable.

She was the best part of the movie. I wish I could watch this movie again somewhere as its very hard to find.

I always wondered if maybe she felt she had been misled or exploited by this movie.

When she signed on, she probably knew that it was an Ann Rice book and had a general sense of what it was about. But the movie was going to be different. It was going to be a comedy with Aykroyd and O'Donnell, and Gerry Marshall was directing. He had already done several projects that helped women in movies, including Pretty Woman which was sexual but in a lighthearted and tasteful way.

But as filming started, she started to realize that this movie was going be different. Not only were the sex scenes raunchier and more graphic, but she was the only major star who was showing anything. And she was showing everything and most of the acts were being done to her (including having butter and cinnamon licked off her nipples). But by that point it was too late, they had already started filming and she couldn't risk breaching her contract, and jeopardizing future projects. So, she went forward as best as she could, but it was noticeable that she wasn't enjoying it. And even sadder is that his movie bombed, and the other stars were able to distance themselves from it, but she couldn't, and it derailed the momentum of her career at that time.

That'd be surprising.

I think she was but she still looked hot naked.

Sweet bush.

I miss those.
