>>>>Gretchen just doesn't have the looks that's needed to be Daisy Duke. She's doesn't have the body and she's definately not all that pretty. She just looks very hard and rough. <<<<< After seeing a picture of Beckingsale, I would definitely agree she could have been great for the role. I was not too familiar with who she was but i am glad to know now. She should have been in the pole. I think Gretchen is HOT, she does not look hard and rough but people are entitled to thier opinion. As the pole shows Gretchen is the hottest choice right now. Maybe if there ever was new series made, Gretchen would be good for that but in a role of Daisy's cousin or something. I definitely do not want WB to do a series after the movie with other people playing Bo, Luke, and Daisy. Ben Jones had the best idea with the originals intoroducing the new Dukes concept which I would do as well if I was in the TV biz. WB made a mistake of not taking on Ben Jones to at least let him help with the creative part of the movie instead of some slapstick director. But that is my opinion and mine alone. If anyone agrees let me know, If anyone disagrees wit the director let me know. Thanks, Hazzard Fanatic
