So, I've been reading your site for a long time now. It really helps alleviate the boredom at work!! I really like the shirt and hope that I can win it!!! Well, on with the facts:
When the movie "A Christmas Story" was being cast, Jack Nicholson was given the script and was very much interested in the role of Mr. Parker, "The Old Man", according to director, Bob Clark. However, Clark didn't learn of this until later and the studio didn't want to pay Nicholson's fee anyway, which would have doubled the budget. Regardless, Clark says that Darren McGavin was still the better choice and was born to play the role.
Can you just imagine what the Christmas Story would be like if Jack Nicholson had been cast instead?? I wonder if it would be as popular!!!
