As a big fan of both actresses and also the anon you replied to, I feel the need to clarify this:
1. Jessica has never pretended to like Suspiria. She may have been uncertain of its success back in '77 like everyone else and while it's not her all-time favorite role (Phantom) she has never "pretended" to like it. Some even claimed she distanced herself from Suspiria at one point, probably during the 90s when she was busy making children's music and raising her own kids. Didn't stop her from taking a role in Safe, though. Here's some insight from the NYT profile last December:
>Jessica Harper was first profiled in The Times on Aug. 19, 1977. The occasion was the release of the Italian horror film Suspiria, and much was made of the fact that she had turned down a small role in Woody Allen's Annie Hall. She explained, "I would have loved to do Annie Hall but this was a big role and it meant going to Rome. I couldn't pass it up, but I don't know if it was a wise choice.”
>And so, in a video conversation with Harper about her new film, Nightbitch, I had the rare opportunity to ask a 47-years-later follow-up question: was it, in fact, a wise choice? "More than wise, it was a brilliant choice," she said with a laugh. "Suspiria turned out to be what I think is a gorgeous movie in its genre, and I'm really proud to be in it — and quite amazed, and yet not entirely surprised, by its long, long, long-term success."
2. JCon has been long rumored to dislike Phenomena, rarely discussing the film in public, but an interviewer brought it up last year when she was promoting a new series (Dark Matter). Connelly said she loved working with Argento and had a great time on set. Didn't even bring up the chimp biting off part of her finger, kek:
