Geena Davis

[cryowizard]

Caught a part of "A league of their own" with Tom Hanks and Geena Davis. Now, I love Geena Davis -- she's six feet tall and has legs from here to Canada, not to mention that mouth and the dimples...(most women only wish they looked like her at age 54) ...Anywho, whilst reading her filmography on IMDB I was quite taken aback by how many films she turned down. And which films!

Turned down the role of Princess Leia Organa in Star Wars (1977). She was the runner-up to Carrie Fisher for the part.

Turned down the role that made famous to Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct (1992).

Turned down the Demi Moore role in Ghost (1990).

Turned down the role that later went to Jodie Foster in The Silence of the Lambs (1991).

Turned down the role that made famous to Sandra Bullock in Speed (1994/I).

Turned down the role that went to Kelly McGillis in The Accused (1988).

Turned down the role of Alex Forrest in Fatal Attraction (1987).

Turned down the role of Annie in Sleepless in Seattle (1993).

Turned down the role of Kit de Luca in Pretty Woman (1990).

Turned down the role that later went to Kyra Sedgwick in Singles (1992).
