The article mentions Celia Weston, Lili Taylor, and Janeane Garofalo. Weston would obviously be Aunt Ruth, but Taylor and Garofalo both seem like choices for Bessie. I really can't picture either of them as Leeann.
"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe."
-John Guare, Landscape of the Body

Given how Garofalo tends to play brash and Taylor tends to play fragile, I assume the former is Lee and the latter is Bessie.
Tonya Pinkins: Then we had a "Lot's Wife" last June that was my personal favorite. I'm still trying to get them to let me sing it at some performance where we get to sing an excerpt that's gone.
Tony Kushner: You can sing it at my funeral.

My guess as well. I agree Taylor seems a clearer choice for Bessie than Garofalo might for Lee, but the more I think about it, it's not hard for me to see them both in those roles, albeit with Garofalo's being somewhat of a very different take on Lee from those I've seen before.
