After the Silence of the Lambs try-outs, Clarice said to the producer, “Isn’t Jodie a little short to be playing me?” The producer said, “There’s nothing in the canon to indicate your height.” “I disagree. How about, ‘Good nutrition has given you some length of bone…’ Does that sound like someone who is five foot three? And can she match my childhood trauma of the slaughter of the lambs?” “Well, how about Jodie being mauled by a lion at the age of nine?” said the producer. There was a moment’s silence. Then Clarice said, “You win. She’s got the part.”
