Did You Know...

... Brad Pitt and Sarah Polley were originally cast as 'Russell Hammond' and 'Penny Lane' in 2000's "Almost Famous". Pitt admitted to director Cameron Crowe that he didn't understand the character and Polley dropped out due to scheduling conflicts with another film. Billy Crudup was cast as 'Russell' and Kate Hudson (who was originally cast as 'Anita', and subsequently replaced by Zooey Deschanel) was recast as 'Penny'.

Penelope Cruz, Judi Dench, Stacey Ferguson,

Kate Hudson, Nicole Kidman, Sophia Loren

Year: 2009

The film sucked, but a few of the songs were fabulous... especially Kate Hudson's musical turn as 'Stephanie' the US reporter. Who knew she could sing and dance? I guess she inherited more than her good looks from Ms. Goldie Hawn.
