There happens to be a clip that is now and then shown on
Turner Classic Movies..(so it is not coming from my big mouth!)...where they are interviewing another star who really thought she had the role...and that was of all people..JANE RUSSELL.
They still show the clip from time to time, so if you want to find out, for sure, on this report, from me...
try and catch it.
Believe it or not, I remember reading somewhere that June Allyson did indeed think she could get the Lillian Roth role. I didn't know about Jane Russell.
Fortunately all around, Susan got it, saving movie-goers from disaster, LOL.
