Jennifer Love Hewitt is well aware of possible judgments about her character in the Lifetime filmThe Client List: a married mother of three turned prostitute.
"You do root for her and you do judge her, and you love that you judge her and by the end of it, you really forgive her for all that she's done," the 31-year-old Hewitt says. "Sometimes the best role models, and the people you should look up to the most, are the ones who actually do make mistakes because they show you how to overcome them."
The Client List, premiering Monday at 9/8c, is based on the true story of Samantha Horton, a woman who takes a position at a massage parlor only to find herself smack in the middle of a prostitution ring after she and her husband both lose their jobs.
"It really struck me, particularly where we are in the world economically. This is real stuff that people are dealing with," Hewitt says. "And I loved that, in this, it was about female empowerment. It was really her taking care of her family and I loved her struggle."
For the role, Hewitt trained by taking pole-dancing classes (she now has a pole in her house for her work-out regimen), but did little other research before filming began.

Spain Wins World Cup
Spain won its first-ever World Cup Sunday with a 1-0 win over the Netherlands in extra time — a game that soccer officials hoped would go down as the most-watched televised event ever.
Playing in the final for the first time, Spain became the first European team to win a World Cup outside of Europe.
It was unclear whether global interest would match soccer officials' hopes, but there were encouraging signs: Saturday's 3-2 German victory over Uruguay, for third place in the tournament, set a German television record of 30 million viewers (40 percent of the population). And while soccer is nowhere near as popular in the U.S. as it is in much of the world, a record-setting 14.86 million viewers tuned in to watch the U.S. team lose to Ghana, sealing its elimination.
Sunday's game was probably not the type to win new fans to the sport, critics of which complain that not enough happens (to the blank stares of die-hards). The match was scoreless through regulation time, a drought that ended only with a goal by Andrés Iniesta as only moments remained in extra time.
Spain got to the final with a series of small but steady wins, beating Portugal, Paraguay and Germany 1-0. Spain scored the lowest total goals — eight — of any World Cup winner.
