Michelle Pfaiffer told the edition of The New Yorker that the director of "silence of the lambs" wanted to see her as the main character. However, the actress did not hurry to agree. "There was so much evil in this film. And at the end evil wins. I felt uncomfortable from a similar ending and did not want to broadcast it into the world, "she explained his refusal.
On the main role, the director of the picture of Jonathan Demmy took the very still young Jody Foster. The role of Clarisa Starling became for her a ticket to the world of big cinema, making a laureate of several awards at once, including the prestigious Cinema "Oscar".
"Most of all I regret that I missed the opportunity to work with Jonathan Demmy in the same picture," Michelle Pfiffer quotes the American Weekly. The actress managed to work with the director at the filming of the film "Married to Mafia", but no more creative tandem happened: Jonathan Demmy did not become in 2017.
"Silence of the lambs" is not the only cult film, from the role in which Michel refused. Hollywood actress did not accept the offer to play the main roles in the "Beauty" and the "main instinct", which were brought by Julia Roberts and Sheron Stone world fame. And the paintings themselves entered the list of the best films of the 20th century.
