You definitely need a very relatable character for this, but I don’t see how Melinda Dillon couldn’t have served as a blank slate. She has some characteristics that make her unique but not enough to make her unrelatable. I definitely related to her and didn’t at all to the lead. Maybe that’s just me but I don’t see how her character would exclude anybody from projecting themselves onto her.
