The casting director rejected Faye Dunaway, telling her she wasn't pretty enough for movies and should stick to theater.
Producer 'Sam Spiegel (I) had acquired the property that became "The Chase" in the 1950s and wanted Marlon Brando originally to play the role of Jason 'Jake' Rogers and Marilyn Monroe to play his lover, Anna Reeves. By the time production began in 1965, Brando was too old to play the role of the son, and took the part of Sheriff Calder instead. Brando was paid $750,000 and his production company Pennebaker was paid a fee of $130,000. (Brando's sister Jocelyn Brando also was cast in the small role of Mrs. Briggs).
