Familiar 'Friends' star first auditioned to play Monica but thinks she lost the role for being 'bigger size than the rest'
Could you imagine heading up to apartment 20 at 485 Grove St., or maybe popping by at Central Perk, and seeing someone other than Courteney Cox in the role of Monica Geller? Hello, are you there? Quick, huff on these smelling salts. We're sorry to have sent you into a catatonic state. But the truth is that the cast of Friends did not just happen. It came about through a lengthy process that included some trial and error. And as actress Jessica Hecht, who later played Susan on the NBC sitcom, recently revealed to the good people at Parade, she was nearly cast in the primary role. Though Hecht added that she now thinks she was "a total backup," she then explained that she and the casting director, Ellie Kanner, were chums since high school, having grown up in a small town in Connecticut. When Hecht's agent heard they were still reading people for the parts, she suggested that Hecht head over. "I went in, mostly excited to see Ellie Kanner, and then they started to read me for Monica," she recalled. Obviously, she didn't land the part, and as Hecht told it, "I think looking at me back then, I'm tall and I just had a bigger size than the rest. Now I look at it, and I think how perfect Courteney was, I would have been more of a Lisa [Kudrow], just physically and energetically." As is frequently the case, performers who do well in auditions often make their way into a series in supporting roles. Hecht made 13 appearances as Susan Bunch, the new partner of Ross' (David Schwimmer) ex-wife Carol. But Hecht had some criticism for the way the character developed. "They just wanted a lesbian that didn't look exactly like lesbians had previously, let's be honest," she said. "Use your imagination!' she joked. "They're wonderful. They come in all sizes.' In another recent interview, Hecht admitted some relief that her character never grew into one of the lead roles. "The responsibility of that is more than most people could manage," she said. "That show affecting so many people's lives," she added, "and the actors on that show affecting so many people's lives ... I watch it with awe, and I understand the need for that." Post-Friends, Hecht has worked in films directed by Clint Eastwood, Woody Allen, and David Gordon Green, and had key roles on shows like Breaking Bad and Red Oaks. She's also been nominated for three Tony Awards, including one just this year for her turn in the vaccination drama Eureka Day. For 30 years, she has been married to Adam Bernstein, a director of film, television, and several legendary music videos like the iconic "Baby Got Back" by Sir Mix-a-Lot, one of the 20th century's most lasting works of art.

Kim Cattrall Originally Turned Down 'Sex & the City' 4 Times For This Surprising Reason
Kim Cattrall played Samantha Jones on Sex and the City throughout the show's 1998 to 2004 run Fans regard the actress as the perfect choice for the scandalous businesswoman, but Cattrall wasn't sold on the character herself The actress admits in a recent interview that she wasn't sure if audiences would find a woman in her 40s sexyKim Cattrall didn't always see the vision for herself as Samantha Jones. Speaking with The Times, the actress, 68, admits that she thought the character was a bit of a stretch when she auditioned for Sex and the City at 41. In fact, she turned down the role four times before accepting it, unsure that she could make audiences believe a 40-something woman was sexy. "Self-inflicted ageism," she laughs, looking back on that perspective. "Well, that changed — 40 became sexy. It became, 'Man, let's have more of that.' " While the narrative around the character became that she was almost too indulgent about her sex life, Cattrall insists it was central to the power of the character overall. 'She wasn't a nymphomaniac — well, some people might have thought she was — but she was just enjoying the main course. Everyone else was nibbling on the appetisers when she was going for the steak. And it was always on her terms — that I always insisted on," she says. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. That said, Cattrall notes that she is "the antithesis of [Samantha] in many ways," adding, "I'm a serial monogamist, and then some.' In recent years, fans who loved the role have had trouble coming to terms with Cattrall's complicated feelings about being part of the popular ensemble. The actress, however, has come to terms with it. "I created a fantastic character that I loved, and I put a lot of love in it,' she says. 'And if I'm remembered only for that, then that's really OK.' Love for Cattrall's return to the popular franchise grew after the actress artfully reprised her iconic role in the season 2 finale of the revival series, And Just Like That…, making fans want even more of the character. Prior to that, Samantha was featured in the first season solely via text message exchanges with Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker). In the much-anticipated cameo appearance, Samantha called Carrie from London, saying she was going to surprise her in New York City, but was unable to due to plane delays. Her character was dressed in a stylish silver jacket and red ensemble from Patricia Field, who designed the costumes in the original series. At the time, Cattrall said during an appearance on The View, "I just thought that if I'm going to come back, I gotta come back with that Samantha style." Read the original article on People

Kim Cattrall Says Her Internalized Ageism Made Her Turn Down ‘SATC' Role 4 Times
In a new interview, Kim Cattrall shared how Sex and the City fan favorite Samantha Jones wasn't an immediate 'yes' for her when she was cast. The star admitted she turned down the role four times because of 'self-inflicted ageism.' The actress was 41-years-old when she became Samantha, which she at first felt was too old for such a confidently sexual character. 'Well, that changed—40 became sexy. It became, 'Man, let's have more of that,' she told The Times. 'She wasn't a nymphomaniac—well, some people might have thought she was—but she was just enjoying the main course. Everyone else was nibbling on the appetizers when she was going for the steak. And it was always on her terms—that I always insisted on. But I'm the antithesis of her [Samantha] in many ways. I'm a serial monogamist, and then some.' Cattrall added, 'I created a fantastic character that I loved, and I put a lot of love in it. And if I'm remembered only for that, then that's really okay.' The original Sex and the City had six seasons on HBO before ending in 2004. The sequel series And Just Like That… premiered in 2021, starring Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon and Kristin Davis. Cattrall declined to return as Samantha until season 2, when she made a brief cameo in one episode. In May, Parker was asked by ELLE UK if there might be another Samantha cameo, and the actress replied, 'No, no, I don't think so. Not that we [Parker and showrunner Michael Patrick King] have ever discussed.' In July 2024, a source told Life & Style, 'Since they've paved the way for Samantha to come back, it's assumed that they've done a deal with Kim and they're just waiting for the right time to announce it. The word is that she'll get to do all her scenes in London.'
