Facts about
Joseph Stefano originally wrote a screen adaptation of the novel when Grace Kelly was supposed to star. Stefano's adaptation was much truer to the original book, and would have included two important characters from the novel that never made it into the final version of the film. One was a psychotherapist that Marnie was seeing at Mark's insistence, whose role ended up being merged into Mark's. The other was a man named Terry who was a co-worker of Mark's and also in love with Marnie. The part of Terry was massively reworked and ended up becoming Lil.
After Grace Kelly turned him down, Hitchcock considered and then rejected these actresses for the title role of "Marnie": Eva Marie Saint, Lee Remick, Vera Miles, Claire Griswold, and Susan Hampshire.
