Teresa Wright caught the attention of director Alfred Hitchcock while he was still a relatively recent transplant to the United States. At the time Hitchcock was working on a film script that required the leading lady to transform from a naïve young girl into a mature woman fairly rapidly as a result of the circumstances she was thrust into. As the main character of the film the young actress would have to hold the audience’s attention and project intense emotions with minimal dialogue. It was a role that called for a seasoned actress but Hitchcock believed that the newcomer, Miss Wright, could pull it off.

[I]t would be a mistake to characterize Miss Wright as a submissive shrinking violet. She was an independent, strong-willed woman as evidenced by her first Hollywood contract. She insisted on language that exempted her from the inane publicity stunts and photos that studios required of their actors and actresses. Her contract contained this sentence: "The aforementioned Teresa Wright shall not be required to pose for photographs in a bathing suit unless she is in the water." Her continued refusal to engage in what she considered unbecoming behavior to publicize films eventually caused Samuel Goldwyn to cancel her contract.
