Trivia

When the casting process began, producer Edgar J. Scherick, who had secured the rights to Ira Levin's novel desiring to achieve "another Rosemary's Baby", suggested Mia Farrow for the role of Joanna. The idea was quickly dropped and the actress, then living in England, was never approached. See more »
