- <p> Getting even is no joke for Roseanne Barr, who has the title
- role in the upcoming movie She-Devil, based on a Fay Weldon
- novel. A lumpen housewife, Barr ruthlessly retaliates after she
- loses her husband to glamorous romance novelist Moeryl Streep.
- Sylvia Miles plays Streep's aged mother, and Linda Hunt a nurse
- who befriends Barr. The casting is a bit quirky, says director
- Susan Seidelman (Desperately Seeking Susan). "It's the dramatic
- actress who plays the comic role and the comic actress who plays
- the serious role. Meryl is the funny one." But guess who has the
- last laugh.
