3. Pamela Anderson
The X-files star Gillian Anderson, revealed that the original casting call for her character Agent Scully called for a “taller, leggier woman with plenty of curves.” Pamela Anderson was reportedly 20th Century Fox’s first choice for the role, which is surprising in comparison to the cerebral and moody FBI agent that Gillian ultimately portrayed. Pamela was larger than life at the time, due to herBaywatch fame, and Gillian was an unknown actress, which is why producers were initially against casting the obscure Gillian for the part, but the actress nailed her audition and 20th Century Fox came around. As you can imagine, the show would have been quite different if the buxom blonde had been cast as originally hoped. Today Gillian is worth $25 million thanks to The X-files success, in contrast to Pamela’s current $5 million net worth.
