Selena Cross - in Other Media

In Other Media

In the film adaptation of the novel, she was played by actress Hope Lange; in the sequel, she was played by Tuesday Weld. In the short-lived 1974 daytime serial Return to Peyton Place (she wasn't in the 1960s television series, Peyton Place), she was played by actress Margaret Mason.

In the 1974 television serial, based on the 1960s series, Selena married Dr. Michael Rossi. (Due to the controversy of the original incest story in the novel, the whole Cross family, who were major players in the novels and the movies, were not shown on TV, and it wouldn't be until 1974 that Selena would finally appear on television.)
