On different occasions, I&#039;ve come to like another actress after learning she had taken over a role that was once meant for another. For instance, the first Doris Day movie I watched was MOVE OVER, DARLING, which I only bought because it was a rebranded version of SOMETHING&#039;S GOT TO GIVE, the ill-fated Marilyn Monroe vehicle that was canned after Monroe&#039;s untimely death. MOVE OVER, DARLING was such a delight and to this day it remains one of my favorite Doris Day movies. 

I&#039;ll also say that it is odd that you are not too crazy about Bette Davis. She had so many good roles in A-list pictures for a really long time. She&#039;s often considered The Actress of Classic Hollywood. I love her, but I can honestly understand your distaste for Elizabeth Taylor. While I do enjoy her work (heck, CAT ON A HOT TI N ROOF is one of my favorite movies), I can see where she might not be everyone&#039;s cup of tea. After she and Richard Burton married, she coasted along her popularity and often turned in some weak and lazy performances.

I&#039;d love to have them displayed, but because of our limited space, that just isn&#039;t going to happen. They are all boxed away, but still easily to get my hands on. </blockquote>
