Take Speed, for example, the film that made Sandra Bullock a mega-star instead of Parker Posey. “When I auditioned for Speed,” she recalls, “I just kept laughing because I felt so dumb.” While reading a scene with Keanu Reeves in which she was supposed to be driving the bus, Posey asked the producers if she could have a paper plate to hold for the steering wheel. They were not amused. “Keanu laughed,” she says sheepishly. “Things like that I look back on as mistakes, like, Wow, I shouldn’t have done that or I would have gotten cast. I didn’t know I was being flip. I thought I was being funny.” (via Parker’s Poses)
