| Can Streep, Kline, Ebersole, Reilly, and maybe Streisand all pass for 50-ish these days? Assuming this film would be set in 1971 and keep the year of the last follies (the one that Phyllis and Sally were in) as 1941, all the leads would be around 50. Not all the characters appeared in the 1941 edition of the follies, so you could probably get away with older actors in other roles. But Phyllis and Sally need to be amongst the youngest of the former performers at this party since they were in the last cast. |
