...Debbie Harry. She would have been 23 at the time.
Or Candy Bergen as Candy...
I do think Ewa Aulin did well in that mess of a movie. It could not have been easy having all those dirty old men after her.
Bridgette Bardot in her prime?....
shareThat would be Brigitte Bardot. It's probably a small matter but I am bewildered by people who can't even spell the name of an iconic, world-famous person.
shareAhhhh,you assumed I was talking about the French actress ,and not Bridgitte Bardot,the checkout girl at the St. Paul,Mn. Piggly Wiggly.I suppose Brigitte Bardot would have been O.K. too.
shareI'll second Bridgette. Last time I was in there when she gave me my change she didn't just drop it into my hand. She delicately placed in into my palm then slowly dragged her fingers across mine. All I could think was how great she would be playing this part. Let's cast her in the remake immediately!
shareShe's a lousy lay, though.

Playboy Playmate DeDe Lind (Miss August 1967) was offered the role of Candy, but turned it down because she didn't like the idea of having all these dirty old men lusting after her.

This is probably the most unnecessary and least contributatory post I'll ever make, but I just have to say it:

Isn't there something vaguely oxomoronic about being a Playboy Playmate AND not liking the idea of dirty old men lusting after you??? If not oxymoronic, at least, somewhat contra-indicating?

Thank you, whynot2 for saying this for me. It's kinda like a Lingerie Model "not liking" that 14-year old boys will be, uh, "fantasizing" after her. Hahahahah.

Oh, for fuck’s sake! There is a world of difference between posing nude for photos that may be seen by dirty old men and being on a movie set, INTERACTING with dirty old men. Sheesh! DeDe Lind is arguably the most perfect Playmate of all time, and, believe it or not, beautiful women can have high intelligence, class and sensibility. You’ll have to take my word for that, ‘cause I doubt that you 2 would-be clowns will ever have beautiful woman friends.

Catherine Deneuve would have been awesome.

cult child star of era Hailey Mills!
Ewa Aulin was PERFECT for the part and she made the movie! She was absolutely dripping with sexuality, while at the same time totally naive and innocent. What a wonderful combination! No one else could have played the part of Candy.
sharepimp4u nailed it.
shareTuesday Weld would've fit the part too.
shareEwa Aulin had a great figure and projected the clueless look that made it somewhat plausible that she would be attacked by every middle-aged man who sees her. Not that I'm saying Ringo Starr was middle-aged at the time...
Anita Pallenberg, who played Nurse Bullock, only without the wig and all the makeup. She was stunning then.
