** Her famous role in ''Film/FatherOfTheBride1950'' was originally intended for Creator/KatharineHepburn, but it was felt that she and Spencer Tracy were "too romantic" a couple to play a happily domesticated husband and wife with children.
** She was offered the role of Beth in ''{{Film/Cocoon}}'', as producers wanted to reunite Don Ameche with one of his former leading ladies. Her husband talked her out of taking it, saying it resembled ''Film/InvasionOfTheBodySnatchers'' too much, and it went to Gwen Verdon. She was later very regretful when the film was such a success and spawned a sequel.
