The Goodbye Girl, the 1977 Herbert Ross romantic Broadway stage play melodrama ("Thank you Neil Simon for making us laugh about falling in love... Again."; "Thank you, Neil Simon, for Marsha Mason"; "Thank you, Neil Simon, for Richard Dreyfuss"; "Thank you, Neil Simon, for 'The Goodbye Girl'"; "Written by Neil Simon"; about two struggling actors who work in the theater, and one has a ten year old daughter, and they hate each other, but they are forced to share an apartment, and naturally, they fall in love; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Richard Dreyfuss (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), Marsha Mason (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Quinn Cummings (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film; billed as "Introducing Quinn Cummings as Lucy"), Barbara Rhoades, and Paul Benedict. This hit movie had a very troubled background! It originally had Robert De Niro as the leading man and Mike Nichols as the director (it was loosely based on Dustin Hoffman's life as a struggling actor, and supposedly the studio turned down Hoffman for the lead!). There were major differences between De Niro, Nichols, and writer Neil Simon, and then two weeks into filming, De Niro and Nichols were fired! Other actors were then candidates for the lead role including Jack Nicholson, James Caan and Tony Lo Bianco. Finally, Richard Dreyfuss was brought in to test opposite Marsha Mason and Neil Simon liked their chemistry, so Dreyfuss was cast and Herbert Ross was brought in as director, and ultimately, the movie proved to be a big hit!
