Theresa Caputo is an American reality television star who is also a talented psychic. She was born with the ability to communicate with those who have passed from this life. Often the departed have a message for loved ones who are still alive on this earth. For decades, Theresa has provided a bridge between the two worlds and she uses her unique talents and abilities to pass on the information to people who are hurting and who find consolation in hearing wisdom from beyond the grave. Theresa is best known for her reality television series “Long Island Medium.” A movie about her life would be something that would intrigue those who have an interest in the paranormal. Although it’s only one aspect of her life, she has a story that is well-worth retelling. We’ve selected five actresses that we think would do an amazing job if they were cast for a part to play the famous medium.
5. Jennifer Love Hewitt
Fans of Jennifer Love Hewitt were thrilled with her performance in the television series “Ghost Whisperer. Her character in the series was born with the same psychic talents that Theresa Caputo exhibits. We’ve already seen how convincing that Love-Hewitt is in her portrayal of a psychic medium and we believe that she has the ability to deliver on this part of the role. We placed her as our fifth choice because it might take a bit of makeup work to pass her off as being a younger version of Theresa, but still, Jennifer has a youthful profile, so this wouldn’t likely be a big issue. She’s an actress who could move into the role with no great difficulty. If you watch a few episodes of “Ghost Whisperer” you will see what we’re talking about.
4. Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston has the talent to play the part of Caputo. She’s done a lot of comedy, but she also does well in more serious roles. Aniston has a great depth about her. There’s something about her piercing gaze that gives her the appearance of seeing something that others may not be seeing. In addition to this, she has had her own paranormal experience on the set of “Bruce Almighty.” Aniston reported having drams that she described as being “god-like.” Jennifer is not a spiritual person, but this was an experience that she could not dismiss. It had such a great impact upon her that she actually shared it in an interview with the media. We’d love to see her portray Theresa Caputo in a movie about the psychic. Although she’s not really a believer, she is a versatile actress.
3. Jessica Alba
Jessica Alba is our third choice. The actress was born in 1981, making her 38 years old. Jessica could easily play the part of a younger Theresa Caputo, throughout mid-life. Jessica is known for her role as the lead actress in the “Dark Angel” television series from 2000-2002. She received a Golden Globe nomination for her performance. She’s been a professional actress since she was just 13 years of age. She’s a seasoned veteran in the industry and versatile in her acting abilities. She certainly has the right look, as both she and Caputo are very beautiful women. Although we’re not sure if she’s had any paranormal experiences, or what her spiritual beliefs might be, we know one thing for certain. She’s a talented actress and we believe that she would make her portrayal of the character highly believable.
2. Katie Featherstone
Katie Featherstone is our second choice to play the part of Theresa Caputo in a film about her life. Katie is best known as the lead actress in the high grossing film “Paranormal Activity.” She’s certainly no stranger to the paranormal. Her acting ability is not in question as to the 2009 release and her performance in the movie earned her the Screamfest Film-Festival’s Best Actress Award. This was enough for us. The film grossed more than $100 million at the US Box office, and even more when you factor in the worldwide earnings.
1. Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett Johansson is our number one choice for the actress that we think should play the part of Theresa Caputo in a movie about her life. Scarlett has received multiple awards and recognition. She won a British Academy Film Award, a Tony Award and she’s been listed on the Forbes Celebrity 100 list on multiple occasions. Scarlett starred in the 2014 film “Lucy.” Her character inadvertently absorbed an HGC hormone and her mind expanded beyond the capacity for her human body to contain it. She delivered a stellar performance in this as well as many other films that she’s been involved in. Johansson is one of the most highly regarded actresses in the business currently. Her skill speaks for itself. We believe that she has the depth to deliver a moving performance in the role of Theresa Caputo, and we’d certainly like to see her take her best shot at it.
Final thoughts
Our top choice to play the part of Theresa Caputo in a film about her life is Scarlett Johansson. She has the seriousness and depth to become Theresa for the purpose of the film. Our second choice is Katie Featherstone who is also an award-winning and very successful actress with experience in paranormal films. Our third choice is Jessica Alba with the looks and personality to capture the essence of a younger Theresa Caputo. We also believe that Jennifer Aniston possesses traits that would make her a good choice. Our fifth choice is Jennifer Love-Hewitt who has already established the fact that she excels in a role that is nearly identical to the story of Caputo. These are the five top-rated actresses that we would love to see offer their interpretations of the amazing Theresa Caputo.
