9) Anne Hathaway - Silver Linings Playbook

Anne Hathaway was to be cast for the role of Tiffany in Silver Linings Playbox, which was eventually occupied by Jennifer Lawrence, who then obtained an Academy Award. Scheduling conflicts eliminated Hathaway as an option. Although she was disappointed at first, Lawrence required this role for the good reasons of raising herself to be a big-time Hollywood actress. Hathaway earned an Oscar for her performance in Les Misérables, demonstrating how sometimes refusing a certain role can lead to even more rewards.
