Editing Tuesday Weld (section)

===Stardom===
Weld appeared in 1965 in the [[Norman Jewison]] film ''[[The Cincinnati Kid]]'', opposite [[Steve McQueen]]. There was some controversy when she refused to meet the local governor at a fund-raiser for hurricane victims, jumping out of a car in view of 70,000 people.<ref>{{Cite news|title=A Blue Monday for Tuesday Weld|date=October 27, 1965|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]|id={{ProQuest|155276508}}}}</ref> The film was a major commercial success.

Weld got a star role in ''[[Lord Love a Duck]]'' (1966), with [[Roddy McDowall]], [[Ruth Gordon]], and [[Harvey Korman]]. Weld received excellent reviews, but the film was a box office disappointment.

She followed it playing Abigail in a TV adaptation of ''[[The Crucible]]'' (1967), opposite [[George C. Scott]] and [[Colleen Dewhurst]]. After guest starring on ''[[Cimarron Strip]]'' (1967), Weld had the starring role in ''[[Pretty Poison (film)|Pretty Poison]]'' (1968), co-starring [[Anthony Perkins]]. The film became a cult success, but she disliked the film and did not get on with director [[Noel Black]].

Around this time, Weld became famous for turning down roles in films that succeeded at the box office, such as ''[[Bonnie and Clyde (film)|Bonnie and Clyde]]'', ''[[Rosemary's Baby (film)|Rosemary's Baby]]'', ''[[True Grit (1969 film)|True Grit]]'', ''[[Cactus Flower (film)|Cactus Flower]]'', and ''[[Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice]]''.<ref name="louis jordan">{{cite web |last=Jordan |first=Louis |title=The Real Tuesday Weld |url=http://www.slantmagazine.com/house/article/the-real-tuesday-weld |work=[[Slant Magazine]] |date=September 20, 2011}}</ref> In a 1971 interview with ''[[The New York Times]]'', Weld explained that she had chosen to reject these roles precisely because she believed they would be commercial successes: "Do you think I want a success? I refused 'Bonnie and Clyde' because I was nursing at the time, but also because deep down I knew it was going to be a huge success. The same was true of 'Bob and Carol and Fred and Sue' or whatever it was called. It reeked of success".<ref name="louis jordan" />

The films Weld did make included ''[[I Walk the Line (film)|I Walk the Line]]'' (1970), opposite [[Gregory Peck]]; ''[[A Safe Place]]'' (1971), co-starring [[Jack Nicholson]] and [[Orson Welles]] and directed by [[Henry Jaglom]], and ''[[Play It as It Lays (film)|Play It as It Lays]]'' (1972), again with Perkins, for which she was nominated for a [[Golden Globe Award]].<ref name="brat">{{Cite news|last=Haber|first=J.|date=October 22, 1972|title=The Evolution of a Hollywood Brat|newspaper=[[Los Angeles Times]]|id={{ProQuest|157045364}}}}</ref>
