Word around the campfire was that John Wayne wanted her to be in True Grit in the role Kim Darby played. And that Elvis Presley was highly considered for the role Glen Campbell played. TG would have been a totally different movie had that happened.

TG would have been a totally different movie had that happened. I'd heard the part about Elvis, but not Karen Carpenter. You're right - it would've been a lot different. The Kim Darby + John Fiedler combo sneaks an odd Star Trek crossover tinge into the film, which couldn't have been foreseen at the time.
