Dolly Parton working on her biopic
By IANSMonday, February 15, 2010
LONDON - Country singer Dolly Parton is set to bring her life on to the big screen.
The 64-year-old legend is writing her own biopic, which tracks the story of how she went from a poor girl living in the mountains of Tennessee to one of the biggest-selling country singers in history.
Parton, who had earlier hinted that she’d like Scarlett Johansson to play her in a movie, is hunting for an actress to play the lead, reports contactmusic.
“I’m working on my life story. I’m not decided if it’s going to be a musical or a movie with music in it. I’ve not thought about who will play me - but we need someone little, she said.
“And if they don’t have enough up top we’ll have to give them a big old boob job,” she added.
