Patricia Heaton - CBS Allegedly Wanted 'Hotter' Actress....
Though Patricia Heaton played titular character Ray Barone's wife, Debra Barone, on the series, creator Phil Rosenthal claimed that "CBS wanted someone hotter to play Debra."
"I almost quit the show over it," Rosenthal, 61, told Yahoo Entertainment.
Prior to Heaton's casting, Rosenthal met with an unnamed actress that CBS "insisted" get the part. But he didn't think she was right for Debra.
"I thought she was wrong, but I met with her and she was a very pleasant, very nice person. She wasn't going to read for the role but during the meeting, I convinced her to read a little bit with me," he said. "And she was 10 times worse for the part than I thought she would be!"
