Rebecca Gayheart

Rebecca Gayheart had the dual-distinction of being a fashion model and an actress, before being cast in the one-season wonder, Firefly. In the early 2000s, she took on the role of Inara Serra. That role would end in the blink of an eye when the actress was fired from the show after a single episode.

Showrunners claim there was zero chemistry between Gayheart and her co-stars, though still opted to pay her $125,000 for that single episode. Shortly after, Morena Baccarin was brought on to replace her. Luckily for the actress, the show didn’t last past its first season.
