Heather O'Rourke was chosen for the film when she was eating lunch with her mother and sister at an "MGM" commissary. Producer Steven Spielberg came up to them and wanted O'Rourke for the part of Carol Anne. She initially failed the screen test because she kept laughing her way through the audition, even when she was supposed to be afraid. Spielberg thought she was too young to take the part seriously, but he still recognized something special in her, so he asked her to come back for another audition, and this time, bring a scary storybook with her. He also asked her to scream, so she screamed and screamed until she started crying. This audition got her cast as Carol Anne.
