The Princess Bride’s director, Rob Reiner, auditioned over 500 women for the role of Buttercup, including Courtney Cox, Meg Ryan, and Uma Thurman, before eventually casting Robin Wright.
Robin Wright, who is originally from Texas, had a near perfect British accent and needed very little vocal coaching. Penn picked up her accent from listening to her father, who was from England, speak.
Peter Falk, who played the grandpa/narrator, thought he was too young AT AGE 60 to be Fred Savage’s grandfather.
