The role has been one of the most sought after in the TV business because it has been a launching pad for young, smart and attractive actresses, including Angie Harmon and Jill Hennessy, the Post said.

Parisse currently stars in "National Treasure" with Nicholas Cage. She played the role of Julia Lindsey Snyder on "As the World Turns" from 1998 to 2001.
