You can't talk 1976 pop culture without mentioning the real heavyweight at the box office: Rocky. Instead of Talia Shire, who did the studio almost tap to play the iconic character Adrian?

When casting for the role of Adrian, there were many actresses being considered. As explained by Stallone: “First it was Susan Sarandon, and then we thought, 'Well, maybe she’s too sexy." Dammit Janet, you could have been in Rocky!
