One of the 1999 film's stars, Edward Norton, felt she "didn't have the chops to do it" Garofalo now says.

As for Norton, Garofalo said even though they live near each other and she sees him often, he's never brought it up.

"In fact, he pretends he doesn't know who I am every time I see him," she said.

Doesn't surprise me one bit. Norton strikes me as someone who is very difficult to work with.

Garofalo isn't anywhere near the actress Helena Bonham Carter is.

Also, she is horrendously disingenuous-- 'Norton cost me the role, but I don't hold a grudge about it, even though I'm complaining about it more than 20 years later.' Don't be such a liar.

And, with how much of a known perfectionist Fincher is, I'm more likely to believe Norton, who said that the Director was in charge of who was cast.
