Casting Might-Have-Beens

A Film by Film Directory of Actors Considered for Roles Given to Others

By: Eila Mell

Some acting careers are made by one great role and some fall into obscurity when one is declined. Would Al Pacino be the star he is today if Robert Redford had accepted the role of Michael Corleone in The Godfather? Imagine Tom Hanks rejecting Uma Thurman, saying that she acted like someone in a high school play when she auditioned to play opposite him in The Bonfire of the Vanities. Picture Danny Thomas as The Godfather, or Marilyn Monroe as Cleopatra. This reference work lists hundreds of such stories: actors who didn't get cast or who turned down certain parts. Each entry, organized alphabetically by film title, gives the character and actor cast, a list of other actors considered for that role, and the details of the casting decision. Information is drawn from extensive research and interviews. From About Last Night (which John Belushi turned down at his brother's urging) to Zulu (in which Michael Caine was not cast because he didn't look "Cockney" enough), this book lets you imagine how different your favorite films could have been.

When approaching a rack of clothing, always start with color. Always sit down when trying on clothing. There are style basics, like how to find the perfect pair of jeans. Money-saving tips, like why never to open a store credit card. Shopping rules, like leave your jewelry at home when shopping. Plus tips for shopping online, in thrift stores, and around the holidays. And throughout, separate lists, like the 15 secrets of finding clothes that make you look ten pounds thinner; the seven things a tailor can do—and six things a tailor can’t; and the top ten wardrobe staples.

Makeover from Within

Lessons in Hardship, Acceptance, and SelfDiscovery

By: Ty Hunter

Part memoir and part motivational toolbox, Makeover from Within is a moving and uniquely inspiring book, as Ty shares candid stories from his humble beginnings onwards to his astonishing achievements, and relates how his attitude and perseverance have led him to not only meet, but then surpass some truly extraordinary goals. Rather than letting obstacles such as a life-threatening gunshot (required him to learn how to walk again) diminish his journey, Ty used those dark times to learn and grow, believing that what he learned from his hardships would be the key to living an authentic and successful life. Ty has a remarkable story to tell but throughout his narrative there will also be moments of self-reflection and motivational musings that are very much in the spirit of his popular Instagram postings"--
