Lisa Mcbroom asked K. Woodman-Maynard:

I feel we are kindred spirits about Gatsby. Another theory is that she was maniac depressive in how she made her deceision. My favorite movie version is The Robert Redford /Mia Farrow movie version. I feel Mia Farrow really got the essence of Daisy! What is your favorite film version?

K. Woodman-Maynard That's an interesting interpretation about Daisy! I always saw it as a decision based on class and falling back into the role and traditions she was brought up with, and, of course, the limitation in options women had at the time.

I've actually only seen the Redford/Farrow version once back in high school. I never saw the 2013 version because I had such a strong visual in my head of The Great Gatsby and I didn't want the film to influence what I had in my head (thankfully, since it probably would've influenced my graphic novel). I did love how airy and ephemeral Mia Farrow was in that role!
