Geena Davis has claimed she was "not attractive enough" to play the lead female role in Fletch - but her comedy ability landed her a small part in the film.
The 70-year-old actress tried out for the role of Gail Stanwyk, the wife of millionaire tycoon Alan Stanwyk (Tim Matheson), who tries to pay investigative reporter Irwin M. Fletcher (Chevy Chase) $50,000 to kill him after saying he has terminal cancer.
