She was a former kindergarten teacher who tried for the role of Auntie Em and was upset when given the role of the Wicked Witch of the West. How about Margaret Hamilton in "The Wizard of Oz".

But an equally surprising casting would have to be Charlton Heston in "The Secret of the Incas". He is Indiana Jones way before Harrison Ford with none of the scruples. An amazing part, in my opinion. I think the best example would have to be Henry Fonda in "Once Upon A Time in the West".

He always played the good guy in scores of western movies righting wrongs and bringing the bad guys to justice. However, in "The Spoilers" he was an out of screen character as a thorough heel for a change. Incidentally, the film which is among my favourites, has one of the classic fist fights of all time between Randolph Scott and John Wayne over the honour of a woman (of course!!). Naturally, given the time when the Hay Office code was in force, the good guy won and for the first time in cinema history Randolph Scott bit the dust. How about Randolph Scott in "The Spoilers"?

I thought that meant they would be playing Batman and Robin. Everytime I thought of Jack Nicholson as Batman, I couldn't stop laughing.
