Despite her saturation on the Web, Hewitt’s post “Party” spin-off series “Time of Your Life” (1998-99) was canceled half way through it first season. She went on to star in the USA Network biopic “The Audrey Hepburn Story” (2000), portraying one of her all time idols – much to some critics’ consternation that she could hardly fill the legend’s shoes. Undaunted, the 20-year-old Hewitt continued trying to angle away from teen roles, next starring on the big screen opposite Sigourney Weaver as a mother-daughter con artist team in "HeartBreakers" (2000). In a further effort to distance herself from her kind of “Pollyanna past,” she took a role as the devil in "The Devil and Daniel Webster" (shot 2001), a film directed by and starring Alec Baldwin, but plagued with financial troubles and an indefinitely postponed release date.
