One of my favorite stories is that Mila Jovovich auditioned for The Fifth Element and was turned down from her first audition. Some time passed, and she happened to be eating breakfast at a hotel in some sort of misery state, hungover, tired, dressed in sweat pants, just trying to survive the morning, and Luc Besson saw her at the table and said THAT'S THE ONE. He walked up and asked her to audition again, and she wanted to rush to get dressed up and back into actress mode, and he stopped her saying more or less that the character needed someone who could represent her in full no makeup possum mode, and he would prefer if she auditioned in the same way. She sort of reluctantly agreed and the rest is history.
