- Joan Crawford (1905-1977) was at one time considered for the role of the mute girl, played by Dorothy McGuire (1916-2001), whose performance in George Cukor's (1899-1983) 1941 thriller 'Woman's Face' earned critical acclaim. Louis B. Mayer (1884-1957), the head and one of the founders of the 'MGM' studio, strongly opposed this idea, telling the actress that she had played enough disabled and disfigured characters.
