Fifty Shades of Grey: Is Katie Cassidy the Right Actress to Play ‘Anastasia Steele?’
Fifty Shades of Grey movie producers are reportedly considering a new 'Anastasia Steele' candidate in the person of Katie Cassidy. Is she the right actress for the role?
Katie, daughter of 1970s' pop icon David Cassidy, was spotted over the weekend in Toronto looking fabulous and sexy in a sheer white see-through top. She looks like she was proudly flashing her black bra in the photos. Cassidy was in Toronto to promote "Arrow."
Cassidy's slender frame would register well on screen in case she would manage to grab what is now a dream role for many actresses.
Playing Anastasia Steele could easily propel a rising actress to full stardom. 'Fifty Shades of Grey' is breaking records across the world for its amazing sales. The film adaptation, therefore, is expected to be a massive hit.
Top 5 Questions for 'Anastasia Steele' Candidates
Several actresses, including Harry Potter's Emma Watson, have been speculated to snatch Anastasia's role. Recently, Gilmore Girls' Alexis Bledel has gained increased support from 'Grey's' fans, although she has not spoken up about the possibility.
Between Watson and Bledel, the latter has better chances at being a convincing submissive partner in a BDSM relationship. Watson has played 'Hermione Granger' for too long, the audience might find it difficult to believe the brilliant young magician is now some kind of a sex slave in modern day era.
There are five questions that can be raised in considering 'Anastasia Steele' candidates:
1. Does she look tomboyish, but hot and sexy in an enigmatic way?
2. Could she pass for a clumsy and insecure young woman?
3. Is she slender - even skinny - enough to maintain a rather low self-esteem when it comes to her physical appearance (believing sexy is the opposite of skinny)?
4. Can she look, or be made up to look like a 24-year-old fresh college graduate?
5. Does she have an air of innocence and mystery that could draw the attention and interest of a sex dominant?
'All yes' for Katie Cassidy
The questions above are all answerable by an affirmative if Katie Cassidy is the subject. Last seen as a guest star in hit TV series like Gossip Girl and Supernatural, the 25-year-old actress would nail the role of Anastasia Steele effortlessly.
