The Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky Lands Role in Woody Allen Movie Blue Jasmine
Legendary filmmaker Woody Allen is known to direct amazing actors such as Meryl Streep, Julia Roberts and Sean Penn. But according to a July 26 Yahoo article, a former ABC's The Bachelorette star will be added to that list.
Ali Fedotowsky, who was on both The Bachelor and The Bachelorette, but didn't find love on either, will allegedly be making her acting debut with a small role in Woody Allen's new comedy Blue Jasmine. The reality star will be opposite Cate Blanchett, Alec Baldwin and Louis C.K.
Allen's casting director Patricia DiCerto told the L.A. Times in a July 25 article that after seeing Fedotowsky on her TV personality gigs, like filling in on E! News, "She fit Woody's vision of the character both physically and personality-wise...I knew he would think she was perfect for the role."
Fedotowsky has a 30 second scene in the movie, playing a personal trainer. The TV personality never mentioned to her co-stars that she had a past in reality TV.
"I wanted them to think of me as a young actress who was getting her first little role," Fedotowsky told the L.A. Times.
She also mentioned that she probably isn't going to pursue an acting career.
"I don't think I'm going to be winning an Oscar any time soon," Fedotowsky said. "It's still mind-boggling to me -- I feel like I'm lying when I tell people that I have a cameo in a Woody Allen film. I'm going to get to buy the DVD and keep it forever."
Blue Jasmine is currently out in selected theaters.
