Maybe some people will disagree, but I thought Pickett was a lovely actress. When she did over her look (I believe that was done for her movie role) she looked less conventional, but that kind of went with Jackie's boho-hippie vibe, which she always had.
I believe Mowery's casting was meant to erase Jackie's quirkiness/uniqueness. Same as with Cooke replacing Vigard.
If we're making a list of Rea's rare casting blunders, I going to put Mark Pinter on it. No way could they convince me that women would fight over that man (especially a mother and daughter).
If she was there in 1996, I suppose she was involved with Ron Raines' casting. Which is suprising, since she cast Bernau.
(Just as an aside, it's possible Rea had little to nothing to do with these castings. Sometimes producers, or even the headwriters, bring in people they want, i.e. Jane Elliot's casting as Carrie. IIRC, Marland wrote that role specifically for her).
