Von Bark says, "There is something compelling about this still of James Dean and Mercedes McCambridge from the movie Giant. Perhaps it is the essence of grumpiness. Mercedes McCambridge went on to do the voice of Satan in the movie The Exorcist. She sued the producers to have her name added to the credits.
Why wasn't her name on the original credits?
Quote Wikipedia:
"McCambride's role was originally uncredited; after Blair was nominated for her role, McCambridge initiated a lawsuit seeking redress. (Incidentally, McCambridge's voice was not processed or treated for The Exorcist, she had worked extensively in radio drama and had a flexible vocal range. In interviews, she described eating raw eggs, a pulpy apple, and experimenting with hot pepper sauce to get a properly rough, gurgling sound.)"
I do not know why she was not credited, I believe it was a mere oversight.
The movie was nominated for 10 Academy Awards and won 2. One of these was for sound editing. When we watch it again, we might note that the atmospheric texture of the audio design in this movie was quite remarkable, years ahead of its time.
