Talking to Cosmopolitan Magazine, the lovelly Jennifer love Hewitt revealed her high interest in bringing to movies the life of Annette Funicello, one of the original Mouseketeers.
"It would be an absolute honor to play someone like Annette," says the actress. " She's such an entertainer, she's an inspiration...and someone so many of today's youth have probably never even heard of. We're talking about it. We're not going to get going on it until we've got a killer script though. I'm looking forward to the opportunity"
Funicello made her debut in "The Mickey Mouse Club" in 1955, and spent a few years with the mouse house on TV and movies, notably in the original "Shaggy Dog". Most of her adult career was spent in those 60's beach party movies, usually alongside Tommy Kirk or Frankie Avalon. She was diagnosed with MS in 1987, and recently underwent brain surgery to reduce the tremors.
As for Hewitt, whose last screen appearance was in last summer's "Garfield", she also mentions the possibility of returning to her spook franchise "I Know What You Did Last Summer".
"At one stage we were doing one, then they were doing one without us, then it was going to be a telemovie and last I heard they might want us back for a third one, to wrap it all up. They're a lot of fun to do, and not as easy as they look".
