Diana Ross was supposed to be Rachel Marron
This movie was a long time in the making. It was originally proposed in the mid ’70’s and it was too star Diana Ross and Steve McQueen. But that fell through because they thought the interracial relationship would be too controversial. There’s also this rumor that McQueen didn’t want to be billed secon to Ross. So they shelved it until the late seventies. At that time they still wanted Diana Ross for the role, along with her boyfriend at the time, Ryan Neal. But challenges in their own relationship, stopped them from moving forward.
