What happened to Catherine Burns? THR's ScottFeinberg and scott_c_johnson attempt to solve one of Oscars' great mysteries
, a dark teen drama about youthful passions, angst and cruelty. Karaszewski, a Golden Globe winner whose credits include, has long wanted to share the film with others. There was just one problem:had all but disappeared in physical form. The limited number of original prints were lost or damaged, and the only scrap he managed to find was a beat-up 16mm print from Australia, which he describes as "a mashup of the censored TV version and the theatrical cut.
Burns was actually the oldest of the film's four stars, and her acclaim was all the more unexpected because she possessed, in her own words and others' lacerating estimation, "a funny face." Five-foot-1 and freckled, she was not Hollywood's idea of a starlet. Dick Kleiner, a syndicated columnist, wrote, "Twenty years ago, they wouldn't have let her inside a studio gate.
The film was shot over the summer of 1968 at a cost of just $780,000. For the first week of production, Burns performed as Rhoda during the day and on Broadway at night. Then, for two months, she worked exclusively on the film. Burns tried to quit after the first week, but Perry convinced her to stick it out. "For the first 10 days, the other three young actors worked together as a unit, developing camaraderie," he told theback then.
After her nom was announced, young film critic Rex Reed told TV host Dick Cavett that if he were a member of the Academy he would vote for Burns, "a wonderful little girl who I thought gave one of the most startling performances." He figured it was an unlikely outcome, though, because Hollywood "doesn't know who she is."
