Congrats to ShelleyP, Julien, Debbie DeNice, Allison and Noreen for getting the correct answer to my trivia question. Oprah Winfrey said she campaigned for the role of Mrs. Miller in Doubt but was turned down by writer/director John Patrick Shanley. The role went to Viola Davis, who scorched the screen in the two scenes she was in.
Kudos to Oprah for freely admitting that even she can be rejected and to Shanley for being brave enough to say no to the Queen of all Media!
Scripts have been emailed so please check your inbox (or spam box) if you haven’t already. Thanks to all who played (ScriptPimp and ART Ent, your guesses of Sean Young and P. Diddy were funny!) and stay tuned for more giveaways!

Thanks! Just don’t do the Couch Dance on Oprah’s couch because she didn’t get the part! 🙂
