Turner, 65, went on to note that Michael Caine had been cast as the original male lead before getting replaced by Reynolds.
“I had rehearsed with Michael Caine,” Turner noted. “I was supposed to do the film with Michael Caine — good choice, right? Well, Michael Caine got caught on ‘Jaws 4’ – the shark kept breaking down – and I was pregnant, and I had a stop date, but he did not.”

“He said something about not taking second place to a woman. His behavior was shocking. It never occurred to me that I wasn’t someone’s equal. I left the room sobbing.”
