I'm sure that mostly NONE of those roles were offered to her, they are simply rumors or the studio may at one point considered her but never offered her to roles. The Silence of the Lambs? lol.

The real ones are:
Basic Instinct (1992) (Sharon Stone's lesbian lover, she turned it down fearing nudity)
Falcon Crest (1985) (a recurring role)
One Upon a Time in America (1984)


If Sandra Bullock can win an Oscar for 'The Blind Side' then ... ANYTHING ... is possible!

Well, that most likely can be attributed to a crappy agent.

Also, one of the real ones she turned down was Wild Orchid. Which isn't too fabulous a film, so no big loss.
