It was interesting to also talk to the voice of Babe, Christine
Cavanaugh, who said she originally read for the role of Fly, the
dog.
She was turned down for the pig role "because they wanted a child."
So she faked her name as Chris and "I thought of myself as a
little boy" (she's 30), read, won the role, revealed herself, natch, to
director Noonan. He
told her, "be honest, sincere." She was. Christine talked to
Noonan in Sydney, reporting, "He's ecstatic." She's also in the Little
Surprises, nominated
for live action short film, directed by first-time director Jeff
Goldblum, whom she said was also "amazing."
