Yes, that's entirely true for any of us who've been around long enough to remember. I've often wondered if that strong independent orientation and demeanor (which I've always admired about her) had anything to do with her interest in this particular script.
I strongly suspect she really liked its boldness and complete lack of shame in such regards especially for the era which is nothing like today as you well know. The movie is quite bold and unarguably ahead of its time given the subject matter and undeniable undertones.
Thanks for your insightful input and vantage points. Every one of your comments in this thread and entire IMDB history are thoroughly worth the effort of reading which is quite a rarity on any of these online forums. -

Seems to me, they looked pretty darn cozy there together sharing Cornelia's bed.
Cornelia must have let her off the couch, to where Lizzie seemed confined, for much of the film. Mind you with the bat running around the house, I don't know why all 4 women didn't climb in to the one bed for reassurance purposes and safety in numbers. -

Except they didn't, in every scene in the bedroom Cornelia's in the bed, and Lizzie's on the couch. My question was WHY didn't they sleep together in her bed? Dale and Judy did.

I never thought about it as a kid but now it DOES seem strange that in the midst of a murder in her own home, Cornelia obviously still cared much about being a proper hostess for her house guests, otherwise maybe she would've. -

___Having just seen this pretty awful film for the first time. I'll admit I did think the women were cozy, but that idea was highly influenced because of prior knowledge of Moorehead's orientation.
___I was really more surprised that Agnes actually had a starring role.
