CASSANDRA PETERSON SPEAKING ABOUT BRAD PITT

Meanwhile, it was previously revealed that Pitt’s good looks cost him a role in the 1988 comedy horror film Elvira: Mistress of the Dark.

Cassandra Peterson – who played Elvira – told Entertainment Tonight:

“He auditioned for it and I was one of the people casting it and we decided, I said that he is just so damn cute that if he was there, there is no way I would like my boyfriend. I would be after him and he’s playing underage so it wouldn’t be a good thing, but I did write ‘yum yum’ in the comments box. That’s the only thing that I remember… He was so cute. I mean, the guy was like 20 years old at the time.”

It wasn’t Peterson and Pitt’s only interaction, as he later tried to buy her home – which she still lived in at the time – when she was nine months pregnant.

The star – who has daughter Sadie Pierson, 27, with ex-husband Mark Pierson – quipped:

“I mean, when he rang my doorbell and I waddled down there to see who was at the gate, I almost dropped the baby right then. Really it would’ve been awesome to have Brad Pitt deliver my baby. And it came very close, I gotta say.”
