I can see Hollyweird casting Jessica Simpson in a remake

I'm totally joking of course, but then again...Ms. Simpson is herself a joke and she's being played on the American movie-going public for the time being. So, it shouldn't be surprise if my joke came true.

Hi, I'm God. Can I touch You?

I saw this movie for the first time last night and all I kept thinking was how much Kay Lenz looks like Jessica Simpson or vice versa.

[–] roses888 18 years ago

I agree she looks just like Jessica Simpson with a little Hilary Swank mixed in!

[–] blubirdofhappiness 17 years ago

Oh no... not even close! Plus the fact that Jessica Simpson can't act. Ugh, I feel sick. This is why there are so many horrible movies.

lol. I totally AGREE~ omg. kay lenz was so beautiful, in her own right...
This latest generation seems to think everyone looks frightfully (not!) like everyone else! ha

She reminds me a bit of Susan Dey (LA Law).

@ hodie, Ha! Ha! I love yer "quote"!!! To answer, no, but I LOVE gladiator movies!!! :P Kay does resemble Susan Dey. Both are very cute with wide mouths. Another connection, IIRC, Kay was married to David Cassidy of the "Partridge Family". BTW....This is my THIRD viewing of Breezy today! I have been researching William Holden for a few days.

man their is only one deliciously sexy and innocently naughty kay lenz and a no talent hack[albeit a well built one]such as jessica simpson could never and should never replace miss lenz in any type of remake of 'breezy'.
yet if clint were to direct an ultra low budget remake,it might be cool to see old clint in the original 'bill holden' role and a 'jena malone','kristin stewart' or 'alexis dezeina' in the role of breezy.....but thats just my opinion.

Jessica Simpson does look like Kay Lenz when she was younger, although Kay was cute and petite, while Jessica is more of a bombshell. Jessica's too old to play the role though at this point. One of the good things about casting Kay in the movie was that she was the right age and looked so young. Of course these days, they probably would hire some mid-20's aged actress to play Breezy, and some 40-something but still shaved and buff actor to play Mr. Harmon.

Katie Holmes and Harrison Ford would be better... or me and Morgan Freeman... just a thought...

[–] hooper-xxx 15 years ago

Both are too old. The female lead should be on of those high school musical broads, or another actress of their vintage.

She looks like a cross between Jennifer Jason Leigh and Hilary Swank.

[–] krosszone 8 years ago

I was thinking Jen Jason Leigh, but a stong Swankish jaw, I guess.
