- Jennifer Connelly, Labyrinth, 1985. For (alas) his final film as a director, Muppeteer-in-Chief Jim Henson saw 14 candidates for his adolescent heroine, Sarah, forever in a dreamworld. They included Green (from The Goonies), Yasmine Bleeth, Helena Bonham Carter, Laura Dern, Mary Stuart Masterson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Laura San Giacomo, Mia Sara, Lili Taylor and Marisa Tomei. Choices reached a final five – Maddie Corman, Jane Krakowski, Ally Sheedy, Sarah Williams… and the stunning Connelly.
