00:00Before Angelina Jolie was an Oscar-winning actress and heralded humanitarian, she was
00:04nearly something else entirely, a teen heartthrob.
00:07Can I buy you a drink?
00:10I already have one.
00:15Jolie spent the late 80s and early 90s auditioning for iconic teenager roles and was reportedly
00:21considered for Kelly Kapowski on Saved by the Bell, which instead went to Tiffany Thiessen
00:25and auditioned for Cher in Clueless, which Alicia Silverstone won over a list that also included
00:31Thiessen, Keri Russell, Gwyneth Paltrow and Reese Witherspoon.
00:36The following year, Jolie, Silverstone and Scarlett Johansson all screen-tested for The
00:41Craft,
00:41but Jolie lost the role to Neve Campbell and Robin Tunney, Rachel True and Faruza
00:46Balk rounded
00:47out the cast.
00:48After winning back-to-back Golden Globes for the George Wallace miniseries and Gia,
00:52Jolie
00:53passed on Winona Ryder's role in Alien Resurrection and Carrie Ann Moss's in The Matrix
00:57Trilogy,
00:58but beat out Courtney Love for Girl Interrupted, which earned her an Oscar for Supporting Actress
01:03and 3rd consecutive Globe.
01:05Can I have a vanilla sundae with hot fudge and sprinkles?
01:10Jolie was then offered Charlie's Angels, but turned it down and Lucy Liu eventually got
01:15the role after Jada Pinkett Smith also passed and Tandy Newton was delayed on Mission Impossible
01:20too.
01:20Instead, Jolie signed on for Lara Croft's Tomb Raider, a coveted role for which Sandra
01:25Bullock,
01:25Catherine Zeta-Jones, Ashley Judd, Jennifer Lopez, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Elizabeth Hurley
01:31and Denise Richards were in contention.
01:33Was it programmed to stop before it took my head off?
01:36After then losing out on Hannibal to Julianne Moore, Jolie auditioned for Velma in Chicago,
01:41which went to Zeta-Jones, and Unfaithful, which went to Diane Lane over Jennifer
01:45Lopez, who
01:46also reportedly auditioned.
01:48Jolie did take over for Zeta-Jones when she and Kevin Costner left Beyond B
01:52orders, and
01:52Jolie nearly stepped in for Nicole Kidman on Panic Room after she was injured on Moul
01:57in
01:57Rouge, but the part went to Jodie Foster instead.
02:00People in the house.
02:02In 2005, Jolie landed the role that would pair her with once-husband Brad Pitt in Mr.
02:06and
02:06Mrs. Smith, but had to contend with Nicole Kidman, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Chloe Sevign
02:11y, and
02:12none other than Gwen Stefani, who auditioned multiple times.
02:15A few years later, Jolie was considered for The Reader, but lost out to Kate Winslet.
02:19But either way, it gives me something I didn't have before tonight.
02:25What's that?
02:27Hope.
02:27Jolie was also considered for Black Widow in Iron Man 2 after Emily Blunt dropped out,
02:32but the role was instead filled by Scarlett Johansson.
02:35That same year, Jolie replaced Charlize Theron in The Tourist, and both were at times attached
02:40to Atlas Shrugged Part 1 until Taylor Schilling eventually came on board.
02:44More recently, Jolie was attached to Gravity opposite Robert Downey Jr., but both moved on
02:49to other movies and Sandra Bullock and George Clooney came aboard.
02:52Or would it be abort?
02:53Do you copy?
02:54Yes, yes, yes!
02:55I copy!
02:56I'm detached!
02:57Jolie returns to the big screen this fall in Mistress of Evil, which is not a sequel to
03:01Clueless or The Craft, but rather the next Maleficent movie.
03:04Don't ruin my morning.
