PEOPLE, Page 60Kicking BackBy Emily Mitchell
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.
