Marion Davies

William Randolph Hearst reportedly tried to push MGM production boss Irving Thalberg to cast Davies in the title role in Maria Antonietta (1938), but Thalberg gave the part to his wife, Norma Shearer. Hearst had previously attempted to get Davies cast as Elizabeth Barrett Browning in La famiglia Barrett (1934), a role that also went to Shearer.
