** She was offered the role of Margaret Moore in ''Theatre/AManForAllSeasons'' but was too busy to take it on, and Susannah York signed on instead. Vanessa cameo'd for free as UsefulNotes/AnneBoleyn in the film.
** Vanessa signed on to play Eleanor of Aquitaine in ''Film/RobinHood2010''. But after the sudden death of Creator/NatashaRichardson, she dropped out, and Eileen Atkins came on board.
** Dropped out of ''Film/TheMagdaleneSisters'' to care for her mother, and the role of Sister Bridget went to Geraldine [=McEwan=].
