Hitch suggested a name actress to play Marion because the bigger the star the more unbelievable it would be that we would kill her.
I didn't know it at the time, but Hitch didn't want to talk to me - he hated meeting with people he might have to reject. As it turned out, someone, maybe his agent, insisted that he interview me.
Hitch was interested in what I had to offer, like one of my background ideas for Norman's upbringing.
