(Marlon Brando bypassed 128 !!)

With a cast of thousands -
well, more than 4,126 stars to click on…

More than 700,000 words of text…
More than 30 years in the making!!



The ultimate in movie trivia… Better!
Exactly the kind of history
that Hollywood deserves.
Back to front. Upside-down. Inside out,
Full of flashbacks, close-ups, tracking shots.
(and, yes, some badly edited scenes - sorry about that!)
Constituing a fascinating, new
and often bizarre flip-side perspective
on your treasured movies... and stars.




A work in progress…

CALL OF THE MONTH

 

* Testing as Domino -  in the swimsuit of the year - French starlet Yvonne Monlaur.  She was  already a British favourite in her UK comedies and horror films  - from  Inn For Trouble and Circus of Horrors. After another French actress, Claudine Auger, won the Thunderball role, Yvonne returned home for various thud 'n' blunder actioners, including one that opened  in the US  as... License To Kill.

ENTER: TELLYWOOD

We have plenty of  TV casting, as well....
Robert Foxworth was almost JR in Dallas, before it went to The Mad  Monk of Malibu, Larry Hagman...
Desperate Housewife
Teri Hatcher was nearly Jamie in Mad About You... 
Matthew Fox tested for Sawyer in Lost and became Jack   "for the first episode only"...
Linda Evans was first choice  for Bobby Ewing's wife, Pamela, in Dallas (which is why she said yes to Dynasty)
John Pickard (and not James Arness) was the best of 26 guys trying  to be Marshal  Matt Dillon in Gunsmoke, until he messed up a love scene with Miss Kitty...
Ray Liotta refused  all TV series, even The Sopranos - once intended for Anthony LaPaglia from Without A Trace...
Flashdancer Jennifer Beals was David Duchovny's X-Files suggestion for Dana Scully... 
Don Johnson refused CSI: Miami -  Miami Vice was enough Florida for him...
And cocky private eye David Addison Jr opposite Cybill Shepherd in Moonlighting was between Robert (Baretta) Blake and  Harry Venton.
Then, Maurice LaMarche won. Until the last of some 3,000 actors proved to be the cool - and cocky - Bruce Willis.
