Holliday replaced her. If it hadn't been for Arthur's 'fragility' Judy would never have created the stage roll and been considered for the film.<br /><br />And to think: Columbia chief Harry Cohn didn't want her for the movie as she had 'no name value' and was 'too fat'. He tested lots of others including Lucy (who wanted it baaaad). So George Cukor and Katherine Hepburn had her cast in a small featured part in "Adams Rib". When Cohn saw her completely walk away with the scene, he relented.Philip Mershonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05641146738422887485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22058554.post-76026299549217729972010-02-26T09:21:31.330-07:002010-02-26T09:21:31.330-07:00I love Miss Judy Holliday!I love Miss Judy Holliday!Marjoriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13323661411548419175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22058554.post-66899246726324733362010-02-25T23:05:38.929-07:002010-02-25T23:05:38.929-07:00Gotta love Judy, who is also great in Bells Are Ri...Gotta love Judy, who is also great in <i>Bells Are Ringing</i>.Deep Dishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17235775883600070308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22058554.post-37764567439150212972010-02-25T09:01:08.289-07:002010-02-25T09:01:08.289-07:00She was such a great actress.
