Question 174:
Which American actor was rejected by Federico Fellini at the casting for La Dolce Vita (1959)?
Answer 174:
Paul Newman. »I explained to him (Marcello) that I rejected a big American star, which a producer wanted to enforce on me. Marcello looked a bit astonished, when I told him that I rejected Paul Newman. I admire Paul Newman a lot […]. But La Dolce Vita was the story of a young journalist from the province, who would have looked up to such a famous actor with admiration. It was impossible to cast a big star for this role. Therefore, I explained to Marcello: I decided for you because you have an ordinary face.«
