Jessica Simpson has revealed that she was turned down for two roles in the big screen remake of Dallas, which she found embarrassing but not all that surprising.
Jessica, who starred in last year’s Dukes of Hazzard remake, explained recently that while singing feels natural to her, she finds acting a lot harder: “I never thought I would see myself on the big screen. That, to me, was something so unreachable.”
For Dallas, she first auditioned for the role of Lucy Ewing but she “couldn’t really pull it off…”
“They wanted me to come back for Pam [Ewing]. They saw me as something more mature, and as a woman.”
“I really thought I nailed it and had a chemistry read with
Luke Wilson, who is playing Bobby.”
“All of a sudden I get a call: not Pam. Everyone was saying I was going to be in Dallas, and I didn’t get the part. I did not get it. How embarrassing is that?”
