While the powers that be would never admit to it, such an index does exist, as verified by writer-director Ron Shelton on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/it-happened-in-hollywood\/id1437795866\">the latest episode<\/a> of <em>The Hollywood Reporter<\/em>\u2018s <em>It H<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ened in Hollywood<\/em> podcast<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201c[It\u2019s] every studio or network or now streaming company\u2019s list of actors or actresses who trigger financing \u2014\u00a0who are bankable,\u201d explains Hollywood veteran Shelton as he breaks down the making of his 1988 baseball classic, <em>Bull Durham<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cThe problem is everybody\u2019s list is a little different,\u201d he adds. \u201cEverybody\u2019s list has Dwayne Johnson and Tom Cruise on it, but the list changes every week, every month. You\u2019re auditioning women, and they may be on the list today and off the list tomorrow. It\u2019s unfair to them, and it\u2019s unfair to the director, the producer, the casting director. But you got to deal with this moving target.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    When Shelton was casting for <em>Durham<\/em>, his directorial debut, he had already secured a then-up-and-coming actor named Kevin Costner to play Crash Davis, his male lead. There were several actresses in contention for the female lead \u2014 Annie Savoy \u2014 but Shelton\u2019s first choice was Susan Sarandon. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    That posed a problem. After several box-office misfires, Sarandon had fallen off the list.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cFor some reason, the studio said Susan Sarandon was not on the list, which made no sense. And her agent kept calling. I couldn\u2019t tell her she wasn\u2019t on the list because I\u2019d be giving away a studio secret. Then I\u2019d be in trouble. So I\u2019m lying. I\u2019m trying to make my first movie and I\u2019m lying out of the gate,\u201d Shelton recalls.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Determined to land the part, Sarandon flew in from Italy, where she was living at the time, and went directly from the airport to the Burbank studios where the film was in pre-production, set to start filming in just two weeks. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cShe shows up dressed to kill in a red-and-white tube dress. She looked like a million bucks and she just got off a plane, a 10-hour flight,\u201d Shelton recalls. \u201cShe comes in, and I have Kevin there. She\u2019s pushing me and Kevin around verbally and physically. She\u2019s off book, meaning she knows her lines. She\u2019s Annie. She <em>was<\/em> Annie.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Sarandon left the offices and the key players found themselves in a quandary. \u201cWe sat there and poured a drink, I remember Kevin and and the producers: \u2018What are we going to do? She\u2019s not on the list. She\u2019s so great.&#8217;\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Their problems were solved just an hour later, when the head of the studio called saying Sarandon \u201clooks great\u201d and signed off on giving her the role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    \u201cI found out later she went right from the audition to the studio, Orion Pictures on Avenue of the Stars,\u201d says Shelton. \u201cShe worked her way up and down the hallways until she found all the executives that matter. \u2026 She pretended she had business there. \u2026 [Then she] flew back to Italy and by the time she landed, she had the part.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/  a-font-body-m     \">\n    Listen to the full <em>Bull Durham<\/em> episode of <em>It Happened in Hollywood<\/em> featuring Ron Shelton now, and be sure to subscribe on <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/it-happened-in-hollywood\/id1437795866\">Apple Podcasts<\/a> or <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/0NvW32rfcP7bzurWefSF72?si=FXjVGGqbSAyq2td1ALlDKw\">Spotify<\/a> to catch every episode.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"pmc-protected-embed-2\" class=\"pmc-protected-embed\" width=\"100%\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/playlist.megaphone.fm?e=PMC9733943123\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"><\/iframe>                <\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n!function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\nif (f.fbq) return;\nn = f.fbq = function() {n.callMethod ? n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);};\nif (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\nn.push = n;\nn.loaded = !0;\nn.version = '2.0';\nn.queue = [];\nt = b.createElement(e);\nt.async = !0;\nt.src = v;\ns = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\ns.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n}(window, document, 'script', 'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '352999048212581');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
