Mariah Carey role goes to local actress


A mystery Toronto girl is believed to have been hired to play a young version of pop diva Mariah Carey in her new movie, leaving a jilted 11-year-old American actress in tears. Bianca Collins of Los Angeles, a seasoned stage actress with Broadway experience including Annie and The Capeman, had been excited about playing the role of the young Carey in the film All That Glitters now shooting in Toronto. But she was abruptly canned from the movie by Carey, reports say, when Carey spotted another little girl in Toronto.
"Mariah Carey wanted another little girl so they bought her out of the movie," said Bianca's mother Anita. Joe Everett, a publicist for the film, said it wasn't Carey's decision, it was the director. "The director liked her better for the role," she said. "Maybe he found her more appropriate or maybe she had a better look, I don't know. This kind of thing happens all the time."
The film has yet to reveal the identity of the local actress who was won the coveted child role. Bianca's mother broke the news to her daughter who was flying to Toronto this week. "When I told her she started crying and crying and saying, 'Why, why, why did this have to happen to me?'" her mother said. "Everybody loved her and she totally loved her role."
