MGM Fired Her


From Cannery Row

reply

Because they had buyer's regret and wanted to cast Debra Winger who was an up and coming hot property. They blamed it on lateness which was a complete ploy because Welch is known for her work ethic - plus she was fired after 5 days which demonstrates they really didn't want her. Welch sued for wrongful termination and 5.5 years later was awarded $11 Million. The whole episode was absurd because Welch was miscast anyway.
