However, she had to reschedule because of an emergency.

Ultimately, the part of the titular character's girlfriend went to Glenne Headly.

"He was making this movie. So, they hired me to play the woman in the movie, and, yeah, we fell in love," she recalled.

"So, for me, I have to be honest. I was going to meet him, and he was incredibly intelligent.

"That was honestly the biggest aphrodisiac. Funny and super smart. Now, he’s also very handsome.

"I thought, ‘Wow, this is quite a guy.' But I really thought about it professionally, to be honest.

"I really did when I first met him. I never thought there would be a thing between us."

Meanwhile, Warren recalled to : "When I met Annette over lunch for Bugsy, I felt immediately that this was going to change my life.

"So after lunch, I said, 'I want you to know that I will not be hitting on you during the movie.' And she said, 'I didn't ask…'

"Towards the end of the movie, I said, 'Should we have dinner together?'

"I think there was a moment of hesitation on her part. The rule was broken."
