In 1969, director Tony Richardson cast Faithfull in the movie version of Nicol Williamson's Hamlet (1969), which had been an international success. Francesca Annis had played Ophelia to Williamson's Gloomy Dane in London, on Broadway and during an American tour. Ironically, Roman Polanski nixed both Williamson and Faithfull for the roles of Macbeth and His Lady in the 1971 adaptation of William Shakespeare's Macbeth (1971), Williamson for lacking sex appeal and Faithfull because of her heroin addiction. Polanski cast Annis as Lady Macbeth instead.
