I want Ryan Murphy to give Diane Downs a series treatment!

I know that nobody can top Farrah Fawcett’s amazing performance, but I would love to see how Ryan Murphy would treat Diane Downs.

Who would he cast to play Diane Downs? Emma Roberts?

Kristen Stewart

It's Ryan Murphy, so it will be Sarah Paulson.

Emma Roberts might be interesting. She has the crazy thing going.

Rosamund Pike as Diane!

Nobody can match Farrah's Diane.

The problem with Diane Downs for Ryan Murphy is that there is no gay angle that he can play up.

Diane didn’t have a dick so Ryan isn’t interested.

Gloria Upson IS Diane Downs.

How about Kim Kardashian as Diane Downs?

The last thing we need is another Diane Downs movie.

No, the last thing we need is another Scott Peterson movie.

I was growing up in Springfield when this happened. We knew she did it immediately. It’s a hard role to cast though. The real Diane Downs looks like pure evil. Farrah Fawcett acted fine but it was terrible casting. Kind of like James Brolin as Pee Wee in Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. A series would be great though. At one point, she escaped from jail which would be great to dramatize.

R16, I thought Farrah gave an amazing and mesmerizing performance.

However, the real Diane Downs was nothing like Farrah. The real Diane was pretty ordinary and not deserving of Farrah’s performance, which turned her into an 80s true crime icon!

I agree that Kristen Stewart could be right for the part. It has to be someone who is believable as a trashy person.
