Summary
- Kristen Bell clarifies she was not offered the role of Charlotte Lewis.
- Rumors suggested she turned down 'Lost' for 'Heroes'.
- Bell states she was only spoken to about a possible role.
Kristen Bell has addressed long-standing rumors about her connection to the ABC series 'Lost.' Contrary to earlier reports, Bell clarified that she was never formally offered the role of Charlotte Lewis, a part ultimately played by Rebecca Mader.
The confusion originated from a 2007 interview where it was suggested Bell declined 'Lost' to pursue a role in 'Heroes.' Bell herself indicated that while she was considered, an official offer for 'Lost' never materialized. She also noted that remaining in Los Angeles was a consideration in her career choices.
Rebecca Mader, who took on the role of Charlotte, later recounted hearing from friends that Bell had been up for the part. Mader even expressed gratitude to Bell in an interview for reportedly passing on the opportunity. Bell reiterated in a press conference that media reports may have overstated her involvement, confirming she was spoken to about a possible role but not officially offered one.
