Debra Winger was also slated for the title role in Peggy Sue Got Married, but was unable to take the role due to an injury and was replaced by Kathleen Turner.
She was also cast in the role of Dottie Hinson in A League of Their Own, but backed out at the last minute because she did not want to work with Madonna. (Madonna, for her part, was not the nicest person on the set; unlike the other cast members who were friendly with the extras, entertaining them with jokes [Rosie O'Donnell] and puppet shows [Tom Hanks], she refused to be so chummy, and also made some ugly remarks about director Penny Marshall, complaining that "Laverne" from Laverne and Shirley was her director. Ironically, the movie was probably the best [or only good] one of her otherwise mediocre film career). She was replaced by Geena Davis, who seemed like a much better choice anyway, with her striking model looks.
