"Maid in Manhattan", the hit romantic comedy that starred Jennifer Lopez maybe be coming to TV as a series. In one of her better roles, Jen played a single mom from the Bronx who works as a maid at a posh New York hotel and catches the eye of a politician when he mistakes her for a wealthy socialite.
It's too bad the series won't be starring Jennifer - but it would be a good start if it did.
In the movie, Jen played Marisa Ventura, a maid at a first-class Manhattan hotel. By a twist of fate and mistaken identity, Marisa meets Christopher Marshall (played by Ralph Fiennes), a handsome heir to a political dynasty, who believes that she is a guest at the hotel. Fate steps in and throws the unlikely pair together for one night. When Marisa's true identity is revealed, the two find that they are worlds apart, even though the distance separating them is just a subway ride between Manhattan and the Bronx.
"Maid in Manhattan" joins a huge list of remakes, adaptations and updates to be launched on TV this fall. Other shows include: "The Witches of Eastwick", "The Prisoner," "Hawaii 5-0," and "The Streets of San Francisco."
