Others Who Could Have Been Vivian
Another actress who came really close to portraying the character Vivian was Diane Lane. As a matter of fact, she got so close to playing the role that the actress even had costume fittings, though she ended up turning down the part because of scheduling conflicts.
Top Contenders
Many other actresses also turned down playing the part of Vivian. Michelle Pfeiffer didn’t want to play the part due to the script’s “tone” and Daryl Hannah also turned down the role because she believed the script’s early version was “degrading to women.” Sarah Jessica Parker and Sandra Bullock were also top contenders.
