Sexy Fashion: Melissa’s new sexy city role
HOME and Away beauty Melissa George has come a long way from her days as Angel in Summer Bay.
The Aussie babe is set to star in what TV-land is billing as the new Sex And The City - Lipstick Jungle.
The NBC show comes from the pen of Candace Bushell - creator of the smash series about Carrie Bradshaw and friends - and is set in the glamorous but mega-bitchy world of gossip magazines in New York.
Melissa will play Nico O’Neilly, the gorgeous editor of the fictional Bonfire magazine, a pop culture bible of celebs, fashion and politics.
Face/Off beauty Gina Gershon has already been cast as movie mogul Wendy Healy. The third leading role – fashion designer Victory Ford – has yet to be decided.
It’s another step up the ladder for Melissa, who shed her nice girl image post-Home And Away with a raunchy photoshoot for Aussie Playboy.
A brief part in Friends and a role in the hit spy series Alias lead to the lead in the remake of the Amityville Horror for Melissa.
But with Lipstick Jungle and a role in hyped psychological drama In Treatment also underway, the blonde former roller-skating champ looks set to break into the real big time.
