Anna is a Friel-ly big US hit
5 Feb 09
BRIT babe Anna Friel is flying the flag in Hollywood.
The gorgeous star, 32, is the most in-demand actress during the current US TV industry’s famous pilot season, when new shows get commissioned.
Despite her American debut show Pushing Daisies being axed, Anna wowed viewers and has now been rewarded with the choice of THREE new shows. Most actors are lucky to be up for one.
Lucky
Anna - whose lesbian kiss in Brookside is still one of soap’s most talked-about moments – has been offered the lead in I, Claudia, about a lawyer who is convinced she’s destined to become the next American president and goes all out to make it happen.
There’s also Eastwick, based on the classic 1987 movie which starred Cher, Susan Sarandon, Michelle Pfeiffer and Jack Nicholson.
It will follow the lives of three women in the town of Eastwick who gain new powers after an enigmatic stranger comes to town.
The third offer on the table for Anna is House Rules, about new politicians making their way in Washington.
Modest Anna, who has a three-and-a-half year old daughter with fellow thesp David Thewlis, played down her fame in the States.
She said: “The paparazzi here have just started to follow me on my runs. But I think that’s just because Lindsay Lohan has moved three doors down.”
