She was mostly good and possibly no one could've done better in the role but she is a bit plain, not her fault really... just mother nature's fault. It's evolution.
I just saw the film last night on Blu-Ray with about 80 people...Reynolds looks about 4 feet tall and 4 feet wide as well...sheesh. Her legs look dumpy, and she was a teen when doing the film it appears, so there's no excuse...oh well. Things turned out well for her in the end.
shareYou two come across as a couple of hormone-driven teenagers whose idea of feminine beauty is a height of 6' and a weight of 65 lbs!!!
While I always hated Debbie's severe hairdo in this film, she did have a cute face, a good body (including her legs) and a vivacious personality.
She became a star with this film--and deservedly so!

You two need spec - savers!
The producers had to find someone that didn't have a natural starlet look, but would still be attractive to Don and the audience. Reynolds was perfect.
Her legs look dumpy
The aspect ratio of your Blu-Ray player was set for wide screen, but the film is in Academy ratio (1.33:1). Stretching the picture to fit the wide format makes people appear short and plump. So, either you're joking, or you're not very bright.
shareThat's the first thing I thought when I read that...people just don't understand aspect ratios.
sharepossibly no one could've done better
and yet you're complaining. This is idiotic. She's supposed to be the plain Jane character. And yet you're complaining about her being plain. You'd be a terrible casting director.
You got to be kidding me.
Tell you what, go do a remake, and cast who you think would look right in the film.

And you're busy beating them off with a stick, I take it? Some people...
shareWell she certainly became super-glam! I always thought she was meant to look like a Plain Jane...it was the character. Whereas, Jean Hagen's character was super glam.
Dammit Carol Sue, where is the vodka?!
Goodbye
Perhaps the OP just wants to reach out for some sense of community.
I thought she was lovely,i don't think she was ever more beautiful than in How The West Was Won,very feminine,womanly and graceful looking.
