i dont think id have taken the movie seriously if farrah fawcett was in it,she was always more of a hot cover girl than an actress and if she was in something then it woukd be something brainless like charlies angels.

Farrah Fawcett really stretched herself and developed into a fine actress, but I don't think at the time Coma was made she was there yet. I loved Genevieve Bujold in the film.
I don't think I've ever told anyone this, but I enjoyed Somebody Killed Her Husband with Farrah. -

Fawcett would have been too whispery and baby doll-like in this part. Bujold is a focused and intense actress with a spine of steelshe provides the motor for this film, and makes you take the whole thing more seriously than it really deserves.
I think Farrah Fawcett would have been paper-thin, emotionally, in this. She only became a decent actress later on.

'I am sure this will get some reaction, but as a huge fan of the film & a fan of the late, underrated Ms. Fawcett'
I disagree that was underrated in her later years. Yes, she found a way of lowering her voice and knew technique,but I thought she becamse overrated only because the projects she did were so prolific and viewers were impressed that she was competent. There are many competent actrsses that did not get the praise she did,including those with even more talent -

I read that during the height of the Farrah Phenomenon - she was offered the lead role in this film but due to the CHARLIE'S ANGELS Contract Lawsuit it never happened.
Watching Farrah in this would have had me thinking this was just like a movie length episode of Charlie's Angels. Bujold gave the role an air of seriousness which I don't think Farrah could have conveyed convincingly.
Maybe it was just me, I detected some serious lesbian undertones, I mean SUSAN was REALLY, REALLY upset about NANCY's death. Am I alone on this one?
I think you are alone on this one. Susan had both a personal and professional reason to be upset by the death of her good friend, she was angry and confused about how such a simple medical procedure could result in a coma then death, so she went to great lengths to investigate it from every angle.
