Did you know that Nina Axelrod was considered for the part of Rachel in Blade Runner? Here's a still from her screen test. Her father wrote the screenplay for The Manchurian Candidate.
You learn these things from the 5-DVD "Ultimate" collection of Blade Runner.
You also learn you're a total dork who actually watches all 5 DVD's in the "ultimate" Blade Runner collection. Well, maybe "you" don't learn that. But I learned that... about... um... me.

Big Nina Axelrod fan, me. She was in "Cross Country," which I saw about 5 times when it was on HBO, 20 yrs ago. As I recall (spoiler alert!) she turns out to be the killer, in that one. Of course, she was in "Motel Hell." What else?
I think it would have been interesting to have her and the dude who played "Holden" as the leads in Blade Runner.
I interviewed Morgan Paull and a lot of people noted the similar traits between he and Ford. Also, the last thing they'd done together was a show where Paull had the guest star lead and Ford had hardly a part at all, and Harrison Ford said to Paull, "I'm in charge this time," with a knowing grin. But I think Morgan and NIna's age would be too far apart, or would seem that way anyhow.
She's great, and pretty. Am watching Time Walker now but... she wouldn't have been as good as Sean Young. Although after interviewing Morgan Paull from Blade Runner and PJ Soles from Stripes, Young was a nightmare to work with, so Nina would have made a better atmosphere, probably, but... The cast was good.
