Why did Meg turn down the role of Clarice?
Published in Daily Trivia
Meg Ryan turned down plum lead parts in the films Steel Magnolias, Pretty Woman, and Silence of the Lambs. A few years after her rejection of Silence of the Lambs, which earned Jodie Foster a Best Actress Oscar, Ryan disclosed to Barbara Walters in a television interview that she had felt the role "was dangerous and a little ugly. I felt it was too dark -- for me."
