Elvis Presley almost got Glen Campbell’s part in True Grit. Colonel Tom Parker wanted top billing over John Wayne. The producers sain no way. So we got Glen Campbell instead. Also, John Wayne wanted Karen Caprpenter in Kim Darby’s role. Don’t know why that didn’t work out.

Because she objected to the sumptuous lunch breaks during filming?
