indy829: Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn were the inspirations for the female lovers at the heart of Carol according to dramatist Phyllis Nagy who wrote the screenplay for the film adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel The Price of Salt. In her 20s, Nagy had been personally acquainted with Highsmith. According to Nagy:“…Rooney’s channelling some weird version of the young [Patricia Highsmith] who, with her elfin hairstyle, looked a bit like Audrey Hepburn.” “That particular character in Rear Window [played by Grace Kelly] — very helpful, very kind, and just seething with this unrelieved sexual tension. Physically, this was [Patricia’s] type.”So intriguing. All I can say is: Grace and Audrey would have made marvelous lesbians! -- source link
