 Robin Wright Penn (qv) was the original choice to play Maid Marian  but she had to drop out as she was pregnant with her first child.  The part went instead to Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio (qv) four  days before shooting started. (Wright would land the lead in  _Playboys, The (1992)_ (qv) the following year because the original  actress, Annette Bening (qv), had become pregnant too.)
