You've Been Summoned: Judge Judy Wants Reese Witherspoon To Play Her In Biopic.

"Manhattan Family Court Judge Judith Sheindlin, popularly known for her decades-old show “Judge Judy,” just announced the Oscar-winning actress she wants to play her in a biopic. The media personality has been a part of the courtroom series since it premiered in 1996.

Judy has judged minor claim cases in the hundreds over her 25 seasons on the show. Last year, she moved on to its spinoff, “Judy Justice,” with her as the creator and face of the show. While the show received an impressive amount of attention and a Daytime Emmy award in its first season, it was nowhere near the original series.

After decades as a loved tv personality and hosting two popular shows, the Judge recently revealed who she wanted to play her in a future biopic. The American court show arbitrator disclosed that she would like Oscar-winning actress and her close friend, Reese Witherspoon, to do the honors.

While Judy isn’t particularly interested in an onscreen depiction of her life story, she knows exactly who she wants to play her if the situation arises. While talking to E! News  on November 16, the actress said she would love Witherspoon to play her.

Judy called the Oscar-winning actress a “fabulous lady” and said they were friends. She also claimed that in the event of a biopic, she was sure Witherspoon would give an excellent depiction of her. “We’re friends, and she gets me, and I know she does,” Judy said

“And I think she’s a great actress, and I think she could—if they did, which I would not like—I think that she could carry that off,” she continued. Witherspoon previously acted as a lawyer, albeit a perky one, in her early 2000s hit movie “Legally Blonde.”" - Pagesix.com
