Don't have any idea who she is, so ... I'll have to wait and see if she can act the part, I suppose.
I think her ability to act, and the show's writing, matter a whole lot more than the woman's measurements.
Besides, relatve to most current Hollywood actresses young enough for the part, she's significantly better than average on both counts.

Comics are a visual medium, so for good or bad, the first thing that will be noticed will be that the actresses for a super heroine has a Big Bra To Fill because the pre-existing fan base already knows what the character looks like. This does not couple well with the ludicrously narrow standards of Hollywood Beauty.
There aren't many actresses out there there days who have Carter's genetics - tall, somewhat athletic, beautiful & busty. I think Carter was 5'9" or so.
Maybe Rebecca Romijn (5'11")? Moon Bloodgood (5'10")? Blake Lively (5'10")?

I like that casting a lot.
I still remember the "Supernatural" pilot episode, when Dean, upon seeing Jessica in t-shirt and panties says "you're WAY out of my brother's league".
But really, Adrienne is the least of my worries for this series (have you SEEN the premise?).
what is the premise?
