Any Batman fan knows this story all too well. Another actor who lost out on a once-in-a-lifetime chance to appear in Tim Burton's Batman was the notorious Sean Young. She was originally cast as Vicki Vale, the reporter who becomes Bruce Waynes love interest. While Young was Burtons first choice to play Vicki, the actress broke her arm while practicing some horseback riding for an action sequence that ended up being deleted from the finished film. Because of the scale of the production, Young had to be replaced by Kim Basinger. Young also famously campaigned hard to land the role of Catwoman in Burton's sequel Batman Returns. The young actress actually visited production offices dressed in a homemade Catwoman costume, demanding an audition and even went on national television dressed as the character to plead her case. Needless to say, things didn't work out in her favor.
