They flew Sims to L.A. to read the script, but she was so deeply offended "by what she perceived as the script's distorted images of Black people" (quoted from her official website) that she turned the part down on the spot and then wrote a blistering letter of complaint to Warner Brothers. Dobson, also a hot model at the time, accepted the part only a couple of weeks before shooting was to start.<BR/> <BR/>CLEOPATRA JONES AND THE CASINO OF GOLD was originally titled CLEOPATRA JONES MEETS THE DRAGON LADY and I could swear I once read someplace that Noel Nosseck was the first director assigned to the project, but I can't find my source so take that with a grain of salt. Don Medford started the picture and was replaced by Chuck Bail.<BR/><BR/>Ron Goulart wrote novelizations of both CLEOPATRA JONES movies. I haven't read the CLEO/CASINO OF GOLD book, but the first one is from an earlier draft and is very different in spots.Temple of Schlockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16054224371623000524noreply@blogger.com
