The question is, as a reincarnation of the iconic 1970s TV series "Charlie's Angels" looms, who's fit to fill the shoes of Farrah Fawcett, Kate Jackson, Jaclyn Smith and the rest of the crew?

Whoever gets the call, ABC is close to ordering a pilot of the new "Charlie's Angels," sources confirm to ABCNews.com. Drew Barrymore, who starred in the film versions of the franchise, will develop the show along with Leonard Goldberg, who produced the original series with the late Aaron Spelling, according to Entertainment Weekly.

So it's a stretch to say the project's in the can. But that can't kill the curiosity about which stars might be cast in the reboot.

What follows are three potential options for each of the eight classic "Charlie's Angels" characters, based on the suggestions that you -- ABCNews.com readers -- sent to us.

Jill Munroe

Originally played by: Farrah Fawcett

Could now be played by: Kristen Bell, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Jessica Simpson

Let it be known that no one can truly replace the woman who personified '70s sexy and pioneered the hairstyle of a generation. "I was one of those girls born at the right time so that my parents NAMED me after her," wrote Farrah Victory of Nashville, Tenn. "There will NEVER be a 'new' Farrah Fawcett!"

True. But if Barrymore's project goes full speed ahead, someone will have to step into the role of Jill Munroe, the gorgeous girl next door who can skateboard as well as she can vogue. And while a modern day Munroe could theoretically rock any hair color, it's hard to picture her without seeing the late Fawcett's signature flaxen locks.

Enter a trio of butt-kicking, beautiful, blond contenders. Kristen Bell gained a cult of fans playing a detective on "Veronica Mars"; Sarah Michelle Gellar still enjoys celebrity status from headlining the '90s hit series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"; and Jessica Simpson wreaked havoc in short-shorts in "The Dukes of Hazzard."
