4. Brando Almost Stole Nicholson’s Role

Jack Nicholson played R.P. McMurphy and Louise Fletcher took on the role of Nurse Ratched, and both won Oscars for their remarkable performances. However, other actors were considered for both roles. Gene Hackman, Steve McQueen, James Caan, and Marlon Brando turned down the role of McMurphy. Anne Bancroft, Audrey Hepburn, Geraldine Page, Colleen Dewhurst, Jane Fonda, Ellen Burstyn, Faye Dunaway, and Angela Lansbury were offered the role of Nurse Ratched but each actress turned it down.
