Brace yourselves.  It’s time for another Fayewatch.  In this story, Miss Dunaway has a supporting role – which is a step up from being unemployed.  This leading lady of the story is Dolly Parton.  After 9 to 5 and Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, Dolly was up for the role of Selena in Supergirl – the role that was ultimately played by Faye!  Back in 1982, Parton told Entertainment Tonight, “There’s a part, a starring role, of a witch…She’s funny, and she’s magical, and she’s all this and that – and I might do it.”  So, what went wrong?  “I’ll have to go to London for three months, so it depends on if I want to leave home for that much, if I want to be a witch that bad.  I think going from a secretary to a madame to a witch wouldn’t be bad.”  Years later, she revealed why she turned down the role.  “I got offered $7 million several years ago to play the part that Faye Dunaway played in Supergirl.  I was kind of insulted.  I was impressed with the money but I said, “Why are you asking me to play an evil witch?  Do I come across as an evil witch to you?”  Presumably Faye Dunaway, who is impossible to insult, had no problem playing an evil witch.  But I suspect she didn’t get anywhere near Dolly’s $7 million paycheck.  In fact, the actual Supergirl in the film, Helen Slater, was paid a whopping $70K.
