Sally Field refused this iconic role, reveals it was never her ‘cup of tea’

Published

on

Sally Field almost landed a role in one of the most iconic movies in history, and is finally revealing why she ended up saying no.

During an interview with Parade, the actress explained why she said no to the role of Annie Paradis in “The First Wives Club.” According to the Academy Award winner, she said no because she had an issue with the plot of the movie.

“I loved all those actors. But I did turn it down,” Field began. “I have always had a problem with older women either wanting to get a date or looking to, like, you know, have more sex with their husband.”

“I just feel like there’s more for women to say, so that was just never my cup of tea,” she continued.

A quick reminder, “The First Wives Club” followed three middle-aged women, Annie, Brenda, and Elise, who reunite after the suicide of their college friend, who was abandoned by her husband for a younger woman.

Realizing they’ve all been similarly discarded by their own husbands, the trio forms a bond and decide to take revenge. The comedy starred Goldie Hawn, Diane Keaton and Bette Midler.

Field told Parade that the musical number of the three women was another reason she has no regrets about declining the role.

“I couldn’t have done that role because I don’t sing, and they all do at the end,” she said.

The role Field was offered ended up going to the late Keaton. “I would never have been as good,” Field told the outlet. “I mean, it was absolutely right for Keaton—not for me.”

Keaton passed away on Oct. 11 at 79 from bacterial pneumonia.

Boston Red Sox fire manager Alex Cora

Published

on

The Boston Red Sox are firing manager Alex Cora, ESPN reported Saturday. The team is also letting go of hitting coach Peter Fatse, bench coach Rámon Vazquez and game-planning coach Jason Varitek.

Red Sox owner John Henry put out a statement addressing the decision.

“Alex Cora led this organization to one of the greatest seasons in Red Sox history in 2018, and for that, and the many years that followed, he will always have our deepest gratitude. He has had a lasting impact on this team and on this city. He has led on and off the field in so many important ways,” Henry said.

“These decisions are never easy, but this one is especially difficult given what Alex has meant to the Red Sox since the day he arrived. I want to thank Alex, our coaches, and their families for everything they have given to this organization. They have been part of this club in a way that goes beyond the field, and they will always have our respect and gratitude.”

Chad Tracy will serve as the the Red Sox interim manager.

Cora’s reported firing comes after the team’s 10-17 start to the season, as the team has lost four of their last five games. However, the firing comes after Boston’s largest win of the season — a 17-1 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Saturday.

The Red Sox lost 10-3 on Friday night, after getting swept in a three-game series by the rival New York Yankees.

Boston’s slow start comes in a year with heightened expectations, after the Red Sox reached the postseason last season.

Cora was previously fired by the Red Sox in 2020 amid peak controversy over his involvement in the Houston Astros sign-stealing scandal, as he was the mastermind behind Houston’s method of illegally stealing signs electronically. At that point, Cora was less than two years removed from leading the Red Sox to the 2018 World Series title.

The Red Sox then rehired Cora for the 2021 season after public discourse over the scandal eased, and he led Boston to the ALCS that year. However, under Cora’s leadership, Boston missed the playoffs from 2022-24, and was eliminated in the wild-card round by the Yankees last year.

Now, in last place in the AL East to start this season, Boston is making wholesale changes after a surprisingly bad start.
