paula trueman
other casting choices were broadway actor jerry orbach as dr. jake houseman, baby's father; and jane brucker as lisa houseman, her older sister. bergstein also attempted to cast her friend, sex therapist dr. ruth westheimer, to play mrs. schumacher, and joel grey as her husband. however, westheimer backed out when she learned the role involved being a thief. the role went instead to 89-year-old paula trueman. another role went to bergstein's friend, new york radio personality "cousin brucie". she initially wanted him to portray the social director but then later asked him to play the part of the magician. the role of the social director went to the then unknown wayne knight (of later "seinfeld" and "3rd rock from the sun" fame). the part of baby's mother was originally given to lynne lipton, who is briefly visible in the beginning, when the houseman family first pulls into kellerman's (she is in the front seat for a few seconds; her blonde hair is the only indication), but she became ill during the first week of shooting and was replaced by actress kelly bishop, who had already been cast to play resort guest vivian pressman. bishop moved into the role of mrs. houseman, and the film's assistant choreographer miranda garrison took on the role of vivian.
