Debra Winger's Distaste For Madonna Led Her To Quit 'A League Of Their Own'
HuffPost
In a new interview, the Oscar nominee recalled accusing director Penny Marshall of making "an Elvis film" after the Queen of Pop joined the cast.
Debra Winger has no regrets about walking away from “A League of Their Own.” The three-time Oscar nominee was originally set to star as catcher Dottie Hinson in the 1992 smash, which chronicled the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League that started during World War II. Though she’d trained with the Chicago Cubs for three months before filming was slated to begin, she left the project and accused director Penny Marshall of making “an Elvis movie” after Madonna joined the cast as center fielder Mae Mordabito. Nearly three decades later, Winger’s views on both the movie and the Material Girl haven’t changed, as evidenced by a new interview with The Telegraph.More Related News
