“There was a young, unknown actress I was dying to hire,” Mannequin casting director Marci Liroff recalled to EW. “Meg Ryan.”
Liroff brought her in and tested her in front of the director and producers for a few parts, including Andrew McCarthy’s girlfriend in the 1987 film.
“She read a bunch of times,” Liroff said. “I will never know why I couldn’t get her the job. I fought for her and did my best. They just didn’t think she had ‘it.’ That’s what they said!”
Ryan was cast in When Harry Met Sally two years later.
