Missed Out On A Good Deal
A part in Titanic, directed by James Cameron, was offered to Reba. She was supposed to be a part of the production, but she had to drop out because of scheduling issues. She thought it was a bad idea to scrap planned shows, especially if people had already paid for tickets. To paraphrase her, “they kept movin’ my schedule.” After she dropped out, Kathy Bates was cast as Molly Brown instead. The film earned over $2 billion around the world, making it the second highest-grossing film of all time.
A Great Comeback
Twenty years ago in 1997, Reba dropped her album What If It’s You. The album was wildly successful, with its lead single “The Fear of Being Alone” reaching the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100. How Was I to Know, another single, topped the charts, while “I’d Rather Ride Around with You” peaked at number two.
