Shirley MacLaine? Elizabeth Taylor? Debbie Reynolds? Taylor couldn't sing or dace and was too young. Debbie Reynolds was also all wrong as was Shirley MacLaine (at 34 when the movie was filmed too young) Ball was the best choice and was apparently box-office (Which is why Warner Bros wanted her and her money for "Mame" Julie Andrews was also all wrong (though they considered her) Judy Holiday would have been a great choice if she were still alive - or even Judy Garland if she was able to do it (she was not) Then there was Ginger Rogers and Doris Day
