It’s surprising that the alternate ending isn’t mentioned by the director in her autobiography (which of course discusses her ‘big’ hit), isn’t on the extended edition DVD (which does have other deleted scenes), and that the actress who played young Susan isn’t talking about her brush with greatness. It’s also somewhat odd that Disney copied the alternate ending for “14 Going on 30” without complaints from the writers or producers of “Big.”
