Jessica Simpson is in talks to reprise Melanie Griffith's Oscar-nominated role in 1988 movie Working Girl. Her representative tells the New York Daily News, "It is one of the scripts Jessica is considering."

The singer/actress is looking to take her first lead role, and believes playing Tess McGill, the cute-faced secretary with dreams of being the boss, is perfect for her.

In "Working Girl," Tess takes a secretarial post at a major Wall Street firm. While her boss is incapacitated, Tess pretends to be her. Tess's inborn business acumen and common sense enable her to rise to the top of New York's financial circles, and along the way she wins the love of an executive.
