Did Nic Roeg consider his wife Theresa Russell for the Grand High Witch?
Anjelica was absolutely perfect and spectacularly campy, but I'm thinking Theresa would have been truly eerie in the role. I would very much like to know if Roeg considered her: who knows, maybe she had no wish to be cast. In Anjelica's memoir Watch Me, she had dinner with the Roegs during the shooting of The Witches and she was very taken by Theresa.
