I don't suppose we will ever know if it was true Susan was considered but it does make fascinating reading. Probably just an idea that was tossed around and became part of a Hollywood fable. I first heard of it about eight years ago but didn't copy it down at the time.
Thank you Kerry, Lynn and Errol for your response.
I had never heard this story either, but Susan wuold have made a great Jane Bond!
Did't Ratoff direct Susan in "Beau Gueste" (1939?), also wasn't Susan's son, Greg named after Ratoff?...seems I read that maybe in Beverly Linet's bio of Susan.
Hope all is well for you at present. I occasionally check in at Planet Trout and see how the family are travelling. Some great family celebrations and gatherings over 2012.
