While the casting of the Hardy Boys went fairly smoothly, finding the right actress for Nancy Drew was much harder. The producer of the show, Arlene Sidaris, said that it was difficult to settle on who should play Nancy because everyone involved had such a fixed image of what the character should look like in their heads.
Nobody wanted to present an iconic character through an actor that audiences would simply fail to identify with Nancy. They lucked out with Pamela Sue Martin however, who the creators of the show thought was perfect for the role.
