Her tough, fast talking portrayal of a reporter in "The Hudsucker Proxy" seemed very reminiscent of the early versions of Lois Lane in the Superman comics. She certainly would've done a much better job than that twig, Kate Bosworth. Just like John Mahoney showed in this movie that he would've made a good Perry White.
