Piper Perabo
Did you know that the lead character Violet of Coyote Ugly was almost played by Jessica Simpson? However, Piper Perabo changed the minds of the producers. Her portrayal of ‘new girl on the block’ was so convincing she won best musical moment at the MTV movie awards. Perhaps one of the reasons she nailed the role is because, at the time she got the part, she was actually an aspiring actress who was waitressing in New York! It was truly Perabo’s breakthrough role, just like Violet.
