Somebody said ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country. Where are those Americans? Americans these days just want to gravel at the feet of the rich begging the rich to take care of them. Such lazy welfare recipients we've become. CEOs want corporate welfare (amazons 3 billion tax break) , farmers want welfare (subsidies instead of selling food at market price), poor people want welfare (entitlements driving debt and insolvency from the left while the right does the same on the way too big and too expensive military).i guess those of us who take responsibility for outselves, get a job, work hard to live within our means, and only use govt funded common goods subject to the free rider problem (e.g., public infrastructure) are a dying breed.

[@dfa3366]

I did not know that. It’s so interesting about original casting in famous parts that didn’t go thru. Tom Selleck for Raiders of the Lost Ark before Harrison Ford. The only reason it didn’t work out is because CBS didn’t let Selleck do it because Of schedule conflict with Magnum PI. Kate Jackson over Meryl Streep in Kramer vs Kramer. Same situation with TV commitment. Huge Jackman turned down the role in Chicago that eventually went to Richard Gere. He said he regretted that decision.

[@PlumbPitiful]

I'll have to do some research but I'm not 100% sure about the Titanic story. I have a whole book about the making of the movie plus the Blu-rays with all the commentaries and documentaries and I don't recall her name ever being mentioned once. Besides, Kathy Bates is not only an Academy Award winner but also looks almost identical to the real Molly Brown. So it's a little difficult to believe that she was only the second choice for the role. Around the same time there was a television miniseries being produced that featured Marilu Henner from Taxi as Molly Brown so I find the more likely she was talking about that rather than the James Cameron film

I can't imagine anyone else as Molly Brown but Kathy Bates. She even looks like the real Molly Brown unlike Reba.

[@pauldecroix4567]

Another "Titanic" fact CHER was offered the part as Rose's mother but turned it down. She did love the film when it came out though. At that years Oscars CHER attended and her Bob Mackie created dress included a major hat that represented the hats worn in the early 1900's during the period the tragic great "Titanic" sank. Reba & CHER could have both been in "Titanic" . Now that would have been great to have in the can!

[@amberperson9418]

Rose was a red head, Rose's mom was a red head. Reba as a red headed Kathy Bates would have been distracting and would have taken away from the movie. However, I think she would have done a wonderful job. She's amazing.

[@PlumbPitiful]

They dyed natural blonde Kate Winslet's hair bright red so she would stand out in the long-distance crowd shots when people were running around the sinking ship. Had Reba got the part they probably would have changed her hair color to Brown or at least have her wear hats most of the time like Kathy Bates did so she would be different from Rose.

[@stephendennis5969]

Wow she would have made a great Molly Brown. Cathy Bates was and is legendary though.

[@Tomy-9878]

To be honest....Molly Brown was not a very addictive women. So getting someone like Reba to play her would be a bit unsettling.

[@bdiaz6081]

What?! I guess hillbillies don’t float!

[@PaullyMiller]

Reba would have been great in that role, not that Kathy Bates was not.
