I don't think LuPone begging Laurents to play Rose in his revival of GYPSY in 1989 was the source of their fued: she would probably have been considered too young for it at the time anyway and lots of directors say "no" to actors without it errupting into a fued.
For all we know they were friendly at the time, he said no to her doing GYPSY (Tyne Daly was a pretty big name in 1989 anyway)and he later asked her to do JOLSON - she agreed - refused to continue with it - and he became embittered by it and refused for her to be considered with any of his future projects (which naturally would include any major revival of GYPSY).
