RACHAEL Taylor transformed herself into a blockbuster big screen babe - next she’s set to channel Monica Lewinsky as a sassy White House intern in a new pilot TV series from Sex And The City’s Sarah Jessica Parker.

The Aussie actress has scored one of three leading roles in Washingtonienne, which follows the professional and personal lives of the smart, sophisticated 20-somethings on Capitol Hill.

Taylor will play the central figure of Jackie, a New Yorker who has decided to pursue a career as a speech writer but first must work her way up from the intern desk.

Like SATC, the series is based on the semi-autobiographical story by American author Jessica Cutler,about the sexploits of young staffers and the powerbrokers of the US Government.
