The role of Lucy Ewing in the big screen adaptation of Dallas has been one of the most sought-after roles in Hollywood of late. Jessica Simpson, Lindsay Lohan and Kristin Cavallari were the front runners to play the famous character, but “Click” star Katie Cassidy got the role. It seems that film bosses were keen on 19-year-old Katie because they didn’t want any diva action on set. A source told US Weekly:

“Producers wanted to steer clear of the drama and also thought Katie was simply better for the role.”

I also think it’s a wise decision. If Jessica or Lindsay had landed the role, the movie set would have turned into a celebrity deathmatch arena. You wouldn’t want to see JLo, who plays JR’s evil wife Sue Ellen, and Hohan fighting and tearing each other’s clothes off in the mud while the director screams at them, would you? Wait. I would dig that.
