According to a December '58 article, the production first suggested Brigitte Bardot for the role of Lolita. In a later interview appeared in '61, Nabokov stated that Bardot was very far from "his creature:" this explains why Bardot didn't get the part. In the spring of '59, the role was offered to the then 17 years-old Sandra Dee, but her mother said she wasn't sure about it. A few weeks later, Beverly Aadland, at the time Errol Flynn's fiancée, was considered. In October '59, just a few days after Flynn's passing, Aadland stated that she and Flynn would have been the perfect couple for the film: "If he didn't pass away, we would certainly act in Lolita. We both had the physique du rôle." Sue Lyon would be chosen only in late 1960, after several selections.
