The other day, Goldberg, in a conversation with Naomi Campbell, told that it was not immediately approved for the role of clairvoyant Oda May Brown in the famous fantasy melodrama "Ghost". According to 64-year-old actresses, at first she was told that she was "too big" to participate in this film:
When I asked my agent about the opportunity to pass the audition, I heard in response: "They are not interested in you. They believe that the dimensions are too large, because of what people will not want to watch this film. " Not that I compare myself with someone, but Marlon Brando was also impressive sizes. Large characters have the right to life.
After that, Goldberg was completed that there was no place in the "ghost", but soon got another call from his agent. It turned out that Patrick Swayie persistently demanded that Goldberg still gave a chance:
My agent called me and said: "Remember that the film in which you did not want to take? They hired Patrick Swayze, and he wanted to know why they refused you. " When Patrick found out what was the matter, he stated: "I do not agree to shoot until we find out if it really does not fit. This is ridiculous. She is great. " Earlier, we never met him, but he was my fan!
During the filming of "Ghosts", Goldberg and Sayzi became very familiar and continued to maintain close relationships. The film itself turned out to be a global hit, bringing Goldberg Oscar award, "Golden Globe" and BAFTA.
