Winger was going to play Peggy Sue in "Peggy Sue Got Married" but was forced to back out just before production began when she injured her back in a bicycle accident. The injury affected her ability to work for several months afterward. She was cast in the lead role in "A League of Their Own" but dropped out and was replaced by Geena Davis. It was later reported that the main reason Winger chose to leave the film was her refusal to work with singer/actress Madonna. Other starring roles during this period included "Legal Eagles", "Made in Heaven", "Everybody Wins", "The Sheltering Sky", "Leap of Faith", "Black Widow", "Betrayed", "Wilder Napalm" and "A Dangerous Woman".
