Jessica Simspon Wants to be a Working Girl

The star, who recently starred in the film The Dukes of Hazzard, is hoping that this role could be her first serious acting job.

According to the New York Daily News, if negotiations go well, Simpson would play Tess McGill, which earned Griffith an Oscar nomination in 1989.

A spokesperson for Simpson confirmed that the 26 year-old star is interested in the part, saying, "It is one of the scripts Jessica is considering."
