1. Bette Davis
One of the most blatant waste of film history (if not the most sensational of all) was what made the great diva, Bette Davis, in not accepting the role of Scarlett O'Hara in gone with the wind (Gone With the Wind, 1939).
Vivien Leigh was in getting the part which, despite global became a celebrity, he remained forever "trapped" in that role. Davis refused because he thought that his co-star was Eron Flynn, actor who disliked and refused to work.
Few actresses could ' consolation ' better: instead of "gone with the wind" actress played the role of "Jezebel" in the film "The daughter of the wind" that earned his second Oscar, for best actress.
2. Michelle Pfeiffer and Gene Hackman

Jonathan Demme has been replaced as Director and offered the part of the female protagonist-Clarice Starling, a young FBI recruit-to Michelle Pfeiffer, with whom he had worked in "A Merry Widow ... ma non troppo (Married to the Mob, 1988).

3. Steve McQueen
When Paul Newman asked Steve McQueen to recite at his side in "Butch Cassidy (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, 1969)," McQueen insisted on having the most important position on the Bill.
