6 Times Different Actresses Portrayed the Same Characters, and It’s Hard to Tell Who Did a Better Job
Some stories, no matter if they’re fictional or real, garner so many fans that directors want to make movies about them again and again. Sometimes, they manage to make a great film that’s just as good as the one before. But they also run the risk of making mistakes by adding some inappropriate plot twists or hiring an actor that’s wrong for the role. And all their efforts vanish amid a sea of critique and negativity.
We at Bright Side wanted to compare some films where different actresses appeared in the same roles. And it’s hard for us to decide who did a better job. Plus, in the bonus section, you’ll find a curious celebrity trio.
