Why didn't Motown like Mary Wilson?

Mary was Miss Casswell to Diana's Eve Harrington for all intents and purposes when it came to playing the game to get ahead.

If Mary was M’s Casswell and Diana Eve Harrington, does that make Flo Margo Channing?.

LOL, I can just hear Flo saying to them on her last show "fasten your seatbelts, it's going to be a bumpy night".

No, not Margo Channing as Margo was already an established star. I'd say, going outside of All About Eve, Lora Meredith in that scene early in Imitation of Life when she's outraged when the agent says if she has to eat and sleep with the Dramatist Club to get ahead and she storms out of the office and goes home to have a big cry. But Flo is only like that version of Lora. Not the one later who after first taste of Broadway success entices the playwright to always write comedies for her and over the next 10 years becomes a self absorbed diva. That Lora is more like Miss Ross after years of stardom. I could see Lora writing an autobiography along the lines of Secrets of a Sparrow.
