The teenage mastermind—flawlessly played by Sarah Michelle Gellar in Cruel Intentions—was the preeminent manipulator of the Upper East Side, using her stepbrother and a new girl in town to take revenge on her ex, all the while carefully maintaining her untarnished, good girl reputation. A seminal film (based on Pierre Choderlos de Laclos's novel Dangerous Liaisons), it spawned an array of spin-offs: a prequel, a sequel, a threequel, and now, a TV reboot on NBC. A Cruel Intentions Reboot Is in the Works We recently spoke with Gellar at Swiffer's "Yes to the Mess" event at Maman restaurant in N.Y.C., where the newly-minted lifestyle guru and mother of two participated in a range of interactive crafting activities with children, and asked her who she had in mind to play the pivotal role of Kathryn—and it's not at all who we expended. "I'm a mom now, so I spend my days watching Sofia the First and Star Wars Rebels," she told InStyle. "I think Peppa Pig would be great. She's sassy—she'd do a nice job." Your move, NBC.
