Sorry, Shirley
Shirley Jones was originally offered the part of Carol over Florence Henderson. Shirley turned down the role and later explained that she didn’t want to only “take a pot roast out of the oven.” The irony here is that she went on to play the mother on The Partridge Family, where there were plenty of roasts! Sorry Shirley, but we’re glad the network went with Florence.
Sorry, Shirley
