Sarah Jessica Parker Won ‘Lovelace’ Role Thanks To Amanda Seyfried
Demi Moore was scheduled to play Gloria Steinem in the new film, “Lovelace,” but the actress dropped out in January ago due to personal problems. Within days of Moore’s sudden exit from the movie, Sarah Jessica Parker stepped in to fill the shoes of the feminist icon.
And apparently, the movie’s star Amanda Seyfried is responsible for the last minute casting call.
Seyfried, who plays the former porn star in “Lovelace,” said that she took charge of the casting once she was alerted that Demi had dropped out of the film.
Seyfried told Contact Music:
“(Moore) was ill so she couldn’t show up. When we found out she wasn’t coming to work, we were just like, s**t! But the fact is, she couldn’t come so we had to find somebody else and so I emailed Sarah Jessica Parker myself…. I feel like (casting is important) when it comes from a personal point, everything’s so business-y and you have to find some kind of connection in this business if you want to get what you want. I really, really love her so I just emailed her. It worked – something happened – she came, she showed up a couple days later. And she is bada** in this role.”
Seyfried seems to be getting very involved in the new movie. Seyfried said in a previous interview that she was blown away by the life of Linda Lovelace and said that her career in porn was just a small part of her life.
Sarah Jessica Parker and Amanda Seyfried will be joined by James Franco, who will play Hugh Hefner in the new movie.

What these people do not seem to understand is that men cannot stand Parker and will skip the movie if she is in it. I will.

I think Sarah Jessica Parker is a great actress and a beautiful woman. I certainly won't skip the film. I may have if Moore had been in it.

Sarah Jessica Parker should be on Hollywood's Most Homely Actress list…Honestly, she she should go into seclusion for a long, long time…

If you don't like how she looks, WHY do you come here to look at her…nothing but a bunch of haters and hypocrites.
Look in the mirror…bet you aren't all that special either! SJP is an average looking woman who has made it in an industry that doesn't value women for brains but for their looks. That is why they mutilate themselves with plastic surgery. SJP has made it in the business because she is intelligent and know how to play in a man's world. She isn't a stunning beauty but she is not by any means ugly or some of the horrid things these comments have stated. Just a bunch of haters…

I think she is beautiful too. In my opinion, more interesting to look at than Demi Moore. SJP is cute and beautiful.
