‘Miss Congeniality’ Actress Heather Burns Says She “Would Jump At” Making A Threequel Of The Sandra Bullock Comedy

'Miss Congeniality' alum Heather Burns said she 'would jump at' the chance to do a threequel, following 2005's 'Miss Congeniality: Armed and Fabulous'

In a new interview with People, Burns — who plays the unforgettable, kind-hearted and wide-eyed Cheryl/Miss “Rhode Island” in the action-comedy — said she “would jump at” the chance to do a threequel, following the 2005 Miss Congeniality: Armed and Fabulous. Also starring Benjamin Bratt, William Shatner, Michael Cane and Candice Bergen, the Warner Bros. pic follows no-nonsense and antisocial FBI agent Gracie Hart (Bullock, who was nominated for a Golden Globe for the role), who is forced to go undercover as a beauty pageant contestant to foil a bomb plot targeting the Miss United States competition. A makeover film very much of the era and fish-out-of-water narrative, the whip-smart and campy flick was a box office hit despite receiving lukewarm reviews from critics.
