Name the Actor/Actress Quiz

They all played women. Need more BOP.

They all auditioned or were considered for the same classic role (ultimately NOT played by anyone on this list). In fact, oddly, one of them turned down both the role in question and that of the character's daughter (!).

You are not talking about Scarlett O'Hara? No Vivien Leigh on the list.

No -- think about 30 years later. And in fact the woman who ended up in the movie is NOT on this list.

So a late 60s role. Help. What genre?

Another stab. Maria in Sound of Music.

No. Approximately the right era. The character also has a grown daughter in the movie.

I was also thinking of the mother in Lolita. But Shelly Winters is on your list. You got me stumped. I did ask what genre? That may help me.

Another bash. Ann Bancroft.. Mrs Robinson?

Yes, they were all up for Mrs. Robinson -- including the improbably young Audrey Hepburn and Natalie Wood (who apparently turned down the roles of Mrs. R. and Elaine!). Your floor.

Yeh. Had to get it eventually.

American Actress 1938-81.She co-starred with James Dean in Rebel Without a Cause (1955) as a teenager followed in 1961 with a major role in West Side Story.

Natalie Wood?

Correct. Floor is yours.
