Paris Hilton in Bollywood?

Indian director hopes to cast Paris Hilton as Mother Teresa - Yahoo! News:
"The filmmaker said Hilton is on his shortlist after a computer-generated image showed a close facial match between the hotel heiress and the Albanian-born nun."

If you watch Fox Movie Channel you will have seen, more times than you wanted to, interviews with casting directors discussing how fortunate they were to get exactly the right cast for some Fox project like Walk The Line or Aquamarine - and in those cases they may well have been saying as much truth as hyping the films.

OTOH, T. Rajeevnath, the director of this upcoming Mother Teresa biopic, needs to have his head examined. There is much more to casting than physical resemblance. And, under that scarf, we often didn't get a really good look at Mother Teresa's face anyway. In fact, I'd wager she wanted it that way. The work was the thing, fame was just a way to get the work done. That was the secret of Dr. Schweitzer as well.

The thing that sticks in my mind, and I'll bet in yours, is just how tiny Mother Teresa was. Even among undernourished throngs in the slums of Calcutta, she seemed a very little person. Well, Paris Hilton, according to imdb.com, is 5'8" - as Mother Teresa, she would fit in about as well as trying to cast Michael Jordan as a fighter pilot in a remake of Top Gun.
