Something funny here. Rebecca went on to do a show called "dead like me". And on the season finale of it, our own Jewel Staite did a guest apperance on it. Just one episode mind you, but funny how life does that.

The other thing funny here is that Gayheart did the first three or four eps of DLM and was kinda replaced by Laura Harris. That came after being replaced on the FF pilot (original).

ETA: fixes Laura's spelling, drat.

During 2001 Ms Gayheart had an automobile accident and killed a nine year old child. The boy was jaywalking. Other cars had stopped to let him cross, Ms Gayheart over took the stopped cars and struck the child. She pleaded guilty to vehicular manslaughter and received a years driving suspension, 750 hours community service and a fine. She was then sued by the boys parents, with an out of court settlement occurring in 2002.

This all occurred shortly before she began filming Firefly. It is unlikely she would have been at her acting best and Fox may have decided there was too much bad publicity related to her.

I think Inara is hot. I love that East Indian look. I love that Mediterranean nose.

I understood from Joss' commentary in the DVD that he knew as soon as he started shooting that it was working,
so he shot her scenes so that she could be replaced.
Therefore I don't think Fox or any RL factors had anything to do with the decision.

No offence to Rebecca fans, but Morena has a lot more class then Reb, which is why she's so good for the part.

If you play Nationstates.net check out the region Firefly.
