Jennifer Beals

Just for shits and giggles, I showed her and she goes, oh, no.

And she said, too, she's like, who are you, Jennifer Beals? And I was like, am I right? Like, doesn't it feel like it was my tits were hanging out.

I love like if you pull it down, pull it down.

Look at how

but

the other actors who were considered before Jodie Foster We're Kim Basinger, Demi Moore, Jennifer Beals, Meg Tilly and Rosanna Arquette.

So there were a lot of I mean, I think that again, that just speaks to what a charged topic this was always is, but specifically in the 80s that so many high profile actors were like, no.

Including Kelly McGillis, who was cast to play the district attorney, but she was initially offered to play the role of Sarah, but declined.

You think that was better than Back to the Future?

Jennifer Beals.

Yeah? Okay, anything else? Don't

you

Yeah, right.

But I loved it when he took a Bible into court every day and then gave it, you know, praise the Lord! It's not praise the

Lord! Here's an interesting one from Dame Celia, who says, does Porky know that in Flashdance, the person who doubled for Jennifer Beals in the spectacular dance audition scene was actually a bloke? Did you know that?

Yes, I did know that, yeah.

And then the final role, Jodi, which was Rosanna Arquette, but it was written for Patricia Arquette.

He wanted to cast Bridget Fonda, Jennifer Beals, Pam Greer, Kathy Griffin.

And Sophia Coppola.

Kathy Griffin.

So he and Simpson, I mean, him and Bruckheimer were both brought on to Flash.

studio really just threw this movie particularly at simpson expecting it was going to fail and then they could just boot him out and do away with him and this was also a movie that you know the odds were just stacked against it the story written multiple times before uh joe esterhouse of basic instant fame ended up writing the final draft and um They went through an intense casting process, which the title role for the film came down to the actress that was eventually cast, Jennifer Beals, and a dead unknown Demi Moore.

And so the decision was made based on...

And I'll say this because we're explicit anyway here.

Who was the most fuckable of the two? And they ultimately said Jennifer Beals, who is still stunning today.

So, yeah.

And then Adrian Lyne, who directed the movie.

Like, you gotta care.

And then you get around, you know, actors who care even more, like Scott Caan, and Jennifer Beals, and you know, even Jacqueline Byers, and Devon Druid, and all these, Shane Harper, all these different people, and you just ...

Sometimes you have to double down on your commitment.

Mm.
