The role of Lucy Ewing was being sought after by many in young Hollywood. Names like Jessica, Lindsay, Paris, and Kristin were being thrown around as the possible actresses to work with J Lo and John Travolta in the big screen version of the hit TV show. Turns out producers went in another direction and took a virtually unknown actress named Katie Cassidy, the daughter of David Cassidy. US Weekly reports:
7th Heaven actress Katie Cassidy, 19, has beaten out Jessica Simpson and Kristin Cavallari for the role that they were both up for in the new Dallas movie (also starring J. Lo and John Travolta’s enormous head). Cassidy, who is the daughter of former teen idol David Cassidy and most recently starred in the film Click, will play the character Lucy Ewing.
“Producers wanted to steer clear of the drama and also thought Katie was simply better for the role,” a source tells Us Weekly.
And by staying away from drama that meant that J Lo supposedly did not want another diva on the set. I wonder if the producers saw how easily Katie seems to be able to go from innocent to provocative?

wow. that second pic is really trashy.
1The Chick With The Diamond Choker IS SMOKIN! Not As Hot As My Kristin!!!
2The only one who can do this role justic is Lindsay....she is a natural brat so the acting would not be a stretch for her.
3That's a porn star in the second pic?!
4This has nothing to do with this, but I'm watching VH1's Behind the Music: Nick Lachey and he just started to cry when he was talking about his brother and the baby and how thats what he wants in life, and I started to cry because he was just so sad. Did anyone else watch this before?
5I have no idea who this girl is, but she's really pretty in the 1st pic....the second one, ehhh, not so much. I agree with bluejeanie, it's pretty trashy.
6you can totally be sexy without looking like a porn star, i feel like some starlets haven't figured that quite out yet.
7I thought JLo said she was not involved in this project...keeping up with gossip is exhausting
8I couldn't care less about these movies they recycle from old TV shows. Gosh, is Hollywood THAT unoriginal?? How sad.
9Daddy Cassidy must be REAL proud!
gross.
10I take that back---I would see a movie if they did it from "Sex and the City" ( with the original cast).
11Here we go again. Give her a few months and she'll be the new it girl we were wishing will go away.
12EWW COME ON MAN. WHY DOES HOLLYWOOD NEED A NEW TEEN SLUT? WAIT WAS THAT HARSH HER DAD NEEDS TO SLAP SOME CLOTHES ON HER.
13Pole dancer ... Street walker ... Vegas hooker ... Porn Star .... OMG ! What is it that she is wearing and man, she must be quite fit to fit in it ... She looks as though she is into some "S & M" ... Men must LOVE her !!
14She managed to be pretty and nice in the 1st pic to trashy and in my opinion not pretty at all in the 2nd. She does kind of look like a porn star in the 2nd lol.
15I think Jessica is over-doing the Spray-on tan, she looks a shade of orange to me ... YIK !
16Who is she dating? I can't recall the guy.
17i've never heard of her.i think she looks real nasty though.they can't do any better than her?
18JLo said she was not involved in the casting. She isinvolved in the project as an actor.
19Jessica just did an interview on a radio station in Seattle and said that she is in the running for Pam Ewing not Lucy Ewing. She went to lunch with Victoria Principal to study her for the role.
20I thought Pam Ewing was the part that J-Lo has?
21Let me add my curiousity about what grandma thinks about my second picture...I am sure that is not the one hanging on the fridge.
22Well hopefully she looks trashy for a reason. I wish I had her body... OK, I'm going to workout now
23Yuck, she looks decent in the first picture, but so trashy in the 2nd one!
24Forget her and that terrible outfit she's wearing. My inner crow wants to rip the shinies off her arms and make a nest out of them. Or something to that effect. Caw! Sparkles!
25The 2nd pic looks like it was at a fahsion show or some kind of event. Maybe someone else did that to her ...
26She's definately got a nice body, but why would anyone want to send a message like 'I'm such a slutt, come and get me, but wait, ooh, this is killin' my wooot'............lil too trashy there hoho*
27i heard this on E! today and was kinda surprised. i guess jlo has a lot of pull, though. i'll probably see the movie no matter what...especially since i'm a true texan now:)
28I don't mean to be rude but in the last pic she looks like a crackhead ho....
29I think the term "Rock" on her bodysuit (what is that thing??) is a little bit false. More like "Pop". I don't think David Cassidy really rocked it out - lol.
30Who did she play in 7th Heaven? She's thin alright, but her chest is so flat she almost looks like a man... I MIGHT rent the DVD when it is released, but I'm definitely not spending the big bucks to see it on the bigscreen.
31Wtf is that?!?! Talk about trashtastic!!!
32I have no idea who the hell u r Katie but I do know that the dumpster misses u.
33I know this movie's been really hyped and all, but I just can't see it being big. I mean Dallas was practically over before I even knew what TV was, so unless they're trying to appeal to the 'older audience' the producers will really have thier work cut out for them!
34I'm with cshkl, I'm so sick of remakes, and old television shows being made into movies. Stop It Already!
35Jessica should not get either role, especially Pam Ewing.
omg she's david cassidy's kid? boy daddy must be so proud of his little prostitot.hahahahahahaha
36I so agree with the 4 above me.........
37i saw something about her on VH1 or something when she was trying to re-make his song... i don't think he's too involved in her life at all, and he's gone on record saying he doesn't support her getting into the entertainment industry. i assumed he was talking about TV or music but after looking at that 2nd pic maybe he meant he didn't want her getting into the "adult" entertainment industry
38Jessica Simpson can't act for crap and Kristin Cavallari's voice is annoying; we'll see how Katie does (if anyone even sees the movie).
I agree with JustWatch- once the guys hear about her/see her in the movies, she will get so much attention for just being "hott" and then she will be another "it" girl for everyone to stalk.
39What is she wearing?!!! Goodness, where are her parents? If my daughter EVER walked out of the house like that, I would keel over and die. I know that actresses have to sex it up a little in Hollywood...because its such a male dominated industry...but come on. That's awful.
Ok, I'm done ranting. I just find it disturbing that a girl would dress like that if she's not a porn star or something. Also, I'm pretty slender, and I like to show off my hard work at the gym just like anyone else, but there's a way to do it without looking like a tramp.
40Hello beautiful Skye, how are you today?
41Didn't watch the show..and I most definitely won't be going to see this movie!
Foxxie - yes I saw that VH1 show with Nick. My husband looked at me and was like "Are you crying?" LOL..yes I was..i felt soooo bad for him. That made me decide on Team Lachey. I can't stand Jessica..ugh!
42she is jesse mcCartneys girlfriend...i am embaressed that I know that.. im going to go hide in the corner now...
43Thanks Pad..for clearing that up
44Yes, she is Jesse McCartney's girlfriend! She is in all of his music videos. I think the second picture was definitely taken at a fashion show.
45Thanks Pad..for clearing that up
46I have to agree with you brokenhalo...
I have no clue who she is, and could care less about this movie.
47dont think she is all that hot sorry! i like kristin though and would have liked to see her get it just so jessica couldnt! anyways the movie is gonna suck so i dont care who gets it because i wont see it!
48hahaha you cracked me up Whatever04! but you're right...don't tell my mommy but Maddox taught me... hehehee
49slut! I guess she wanted to show *she's not a little girl anymore*
