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."
