Although she had a firm offer for the lead, Michelle Williams told director Simon Curtis she wanted to audition to make certain she was right for the part.

She also worried about the feasibility of transforming her look. While she spent the next six months laboring over research, Curtis and his team stayed hopeful. "We kept going back to her," says producer David Parfitt. "She'd say no. Then we'd go away for a bit and decide she's got to do it. We'd have another go. Then her agent and manager got behind it. She was very hard to persuade." Finally, in early 2010, Williams committed.
