Elvis Presley Turned Down 'A Star Is Born' Role
Elvis Presley and Barbra Streisand
Missed Opportunity
In a surprising twist of fate, Elvis Presley rejected an offer to star alongside Barbra Streisand in the 1976 film "A Star Is Born." In 1974, Streisand approached Presley with the idea of him playing the lead role, but the King of Rock and Roll ultimately declined.
The recently released trailer for the Baz Luhrmann-directed biopic "Elvis" highlights this missed opportunity. In one of the final scenes, Luhrmann recreates the moment when Streisand proposed the project to Presley. The scene serves as a reminder of what could have been one of the most iconic movie pairings in history.
