theme (2)

what-if (4)

  1. what-if (what-if career): Lindsay Lohan → River Phoenix. Another talented actor whose career is a what-if; Simmons compares to athletes lost to injury or drugs.
    “River Phoenix, who I think is another one where it's, there's a lot of what ifs that go with him”
    The Rewatchables · ‘Mean Girls’ With Bill Simmons, Juliet Litman, and Amanda Dobbins · 0:13:54 · Bill Simmons (0.85 sure it was them)
  2. what-if (casting what-if): Lindsay Lohan → Pretty Woman. Asked whether Lohan could have starred in Pretty Woman at 23; they say no, her power was suburban edge, not hard exterior and soft center.
