What if Goldie Hawn was pregnant and decided to just produce the film. Who could have played the title role in this fish out of water comedy?
Who else could have starred as Private Benjamin?

I love the idea of a military comedy starring Amanda Plummer. It would have changed the course of her career.

I think Private Benjamin is ready for a reboot. I would watch that.

Maybe Madeline Kahn?
Jami Gertz, Julia Louis Dreyfus or SJP would have all worked circa 1990.
If you wanted to do it now, Jenny Slate, with Melissa McCarthy as Doreen.
