Rachel Ward, 24 (Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid), is cast as Meggie in The Thorn Birds, a nine-hour ABC-TV "novel for television" based on Colleen McCullough's 1977 bestseller. Richard Chamberlain, 47, plays Meggie's paramour, Man of the Cloth Ralph de Bricassart. Jean Simmons, 53, has the role of her mother Fee, and Barbara Stanwyck, 74, is cast...
