I'm 51 and was around then in real time and devouring every word about Stevie that I could find.He actually did want her for the DJ in the film ..it would have been a real coup at that time as she was a huge sex symbol.I'm sure if she had acquiesced and done a screen test he would have quickly changed his mind.
