Imagining castings for a Jonestown Movie if I were able to cast anyone from any era / time period.
Grace Zabriskie (1990s, pictured is from Wild at Heart) - Marceline Jones
Best known as Sarah Palmer from Twin Peaks, we already know her in a role as someone who is an abused wife of a domineering husband (to say the least). Had she been a bit younger or had Twin Peaks come out when Jonestown movies were being made, she would be the obvious choice. Grace was in her 50s in this picture and was born in 1941 (and coincidentally nearly 10 years to the day younger than Jim), so she probably vividly remembers the tragedy.
I seriously wish she was cast for something like Guyana Tragedy!
