Bette pudo haber protagonizado ¿Quién teme a Virginia Woolf? (!!)
When Warner Bros. head Jack L. Warner approached Albee about buying the film rights for the play, he told Albee that he wanted to cast Bette Davis and James Mason in the roles of Martha and George.[8] In the script, Martha references Davis and quotes her famous "What a dump!" line from the film Beyond the Forest (1949). Albee was delighted by this cast, believing that "James Mason seemed absolutely right...and to watch Bette Davis do that Bette Davis imitation in that first scene—that would have been so wonderful." However, fearing that the talky, character-driven story would land with a resounding thud—and that audiences would grow weary of watching two hours of screaming between a harridan and a wimp—Nichols and Lehman cast stars Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.[7] Edward Albee was surprised by the casting decision, but later stated that Taylor was quite good and Burton was incredible[citation needed]. In the end though, he still felt that "with Mason and Davis you would have had a less flashy and ultimately deeper film."
