May 24, 1991 –
MGM released Ridley Scott’s controversial (at the time) take on the ‘buddy movie‘, Thelma & Louise, starring Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, on this date.
Michelle Pfeiffer and Jodie Foster were originally chosen for the leads and accepted the roles, but preproduction took too long and both actresses had to drop out due to other commitments. Goldie Hawn and Meryl Streep wanted to make a movie together and Thelma & Louise was one of the scripts they considered. Ultimately, they decided to star in Death Becomes Her instead.
