Who turned down Ingrid Bergman's role in Casablanca?!
Question: Studio publicity in 1941 claimed that Ann Sheridan were scheduled to appear in this film but this was never the case, however, and the false story was planted, either by a studio publicist or a press agent.
Michèle Morgan asked for $55,000, but Wallis refused to pay it when he could get Ingrid Bergman for $25,000.
Producer Hal B. Wallis considered Hedy Lamarr for the role of Ilsa, but she was then under contract to MGM (which wouldn't release her) and she didn't want to work with an unfinished script anyway.
