Bates Motel: 10 Actresses Who Should Play Marion Crane

10. Taylor Momsen

Whatever the view of Marion, it can be safely agreed that she is trouble. This isn't necessarily her fault, but the circumstances behind her arrival at Bates Motel in the movie were murky to say the least. A strong selection for a rebooted Miss Crane carrying around the burden of a sizeable dark side could be Taylor Momsen. The singer and actress has a rock star reputation of sorts, appearing sporadically in various TV shows, most memorably in Gossip Girl. Her distinctive, Goth-influenced look would also make her stand out, should producers opt to take a chance on her. She might make an offbeat but rewarding choice for the role. In addition to these qualities, Momsen has depths viewers may not be aware of, working for edgy helmer Gus Van Sant for the film Paranoid Park. Van Sant of course became infamous as the director of Psycho's controversial "shot for shot" remake in 1998.
