Holly Hunter

Project: Chicken Little

The animated film Chicken Little was initially envisioned as a girl that is why Holly was cast to record the voice. However, amidst the inexplicable pressure from the recording studio, the character of Chicken Little was re-written in the opposite gender. In the end, Holly Hunter was axed while Zach Braff took away the role that she spent months dubbing. The movie was released on November 4, 2005, and was a box-office hit after scoring $314 million gross, which is twice its production budget of $150 million.

Hunter is an award-winning actress in the US who won trophies in numerous prestigious award shows, including an Academy Award, Golden Globe Awards, and a BAFTA Award. Among the projects that she landed after her mishap with the movie mentioned, she made an investment in the TV series Saving Grace, not just to act but also as an executive producer.
