| Billing is in the contracts. Especially for lead actors. It will say the font must be the same size as the other actors or must be bigger etc. Every detail is negotiated (or to quote Sunday, every minor detail is a major decision.) Spears was supposed to play Go to Hell Kitty but ended up not. (not sure if this was due to her mental issues.) As it is now I always find Lucy Liu odd in the role. She's not a big enough star to have a special cameo like that. They should have got Bebe Neuwirth or someone else that would make the cameo meaningful. |

| Lucy Liu is more famous and recognizable to the general public than Bebe Neuwirth is, especially at the time the film was made, when Liu was prominently starring in the "Charlie Angels" franchise. Bebe being in the part would have only been meaningful to the small core of Broadway fans who knew her association with the stage show. | |

| I was happy to see Lucy Liu in ''Chicago.'' She's an Emmy nominee and a two-time SAG Award winner. It's not as if ''Chicago'' required her to do a dynamic dance solo (beyond her skill set); she was simply playing an angry socialite who shoots her lover. Billy Flynn says Kitty's mother ''owns all the pineapples in Hawaii,'' so I don't see why that role couldn't be played by an Asian-American actress. It's a small but nice nod to racial diversity. |
