About this Quote

This quote by Randal Kleiser talks to the problem of casting for the renowned role of Sandy in the 1978 musical movie Grease. Olivia Newton-John was the very first option for the function, however she was hesitant to take it on due to her lack of acting experience. Kleiser's quote exposes the unpredictability of the situation, as Newton-John was uncertain of her ability to pull off the role and whether she would feel comfortable with the cast and crew. This quote also talks to the significance of the role of Sandy, as the filmmakers wanted to take a danger on an unskilled actress in order to get the perfect fit for the part.
