Kathy Bates has claimed that the late American director Garry Marshall declined to cast her in Frankie and Johnny because of her appearance.
The Oscar-winning actor, who originated the stage role for the female lead in Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune to great acclaim in 1987, has said in a new interview that Marshall did not want to cast her in the 1991 film adaptation because he did not think she was suited onscreen kissing.
