Here are 6 tales of Hollywood lore in 'Gods Like Us.'
The role now forever associated with actor Clint Eastwood – the lead in "Dirty Harry" – was originally supposed to go to, of all people, Ol' Blue Eyes – singer and actor Frank Sinatra.

Actors Steve McQueen and Paul Newman both passed on the part before it finally went to Eastwood.
