Imagine if Candy had been played by...


...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.

My one complaint with this cult classic is that we don't see more flesh of the incredibly naïve sexuality of Miss Aulin.

I would of gone with Tuesday Weld, Sue Lyon or Yvette Mimieux

How about the beautiful Marie Liljedahl?

Miss Aulin is Candy and will be so for posterity.

Excellent list, but don't forget about Britt Ekland.

Oh Yeah!!!! Debbie Harry!!!! - Even though I really dig Ewa Aulin - and the thing both she and Debbie have in common is that there is no molding them to ANY character. They both ARE out-there characters who have unique personalities, ways of expressing themselves, where that most definitely takes over the role. Debbie Harry was the most beautiful woman to walk the face of the earth IMO.

I really agree with you about Debbie being beautiful!
She wasn't ready for movie stardom in 1968, though.
