Kristy Swanson — the originally Buffy the Vampire Slayer — interviewed for the show back in season 12,” said casting director Dawn Stroupe in the book while casting The Real Housewives of Orange County. “When we came to do the interview, she was wearing a puffy vest and a sweater and jeans. She just didn’t look like the glam they wanted for Housewives. And what we learned when talking to her is that her ex, Alan Thicke, had just died the day before and she was very upset. And ultimately, she didn’t get cast.”
