The First Choice for Rachel Was Tea Leoni
Remember the show The Naked Truth on ABC? Yeah, neither do we.
Tea Leoni, though, probably remembers it with searing clarity. She turned down the role of Rachel Green, which would go on to become one of the most iconic roles in television history, to play the lead character on this blip on the cultural radar.
Jennifer Aniston used her Friends fame to snag roles in such blockbusters as Along Came Polly, Marley and Me, We’re The Millers, and Horrible Bosses. She’s also really rich, re: $1M/ episode of Friends.
If Tea Leoni had been a little more willing to share the spotlight, then perhaps she could have been the one to get dumped by Brad Pitt…
