No one ever refers to South Toronto either, although they do talk about North Toronto, Central Toronto, West Toronto and East Toronto (sort of - West Toronto and East Toronto are recent constructions when the various parts joined together and people still use the old names of Etobicoke and Scarborough and even York and East York. There was never a West York or a South York that I can think of.)

She's a top-notch actress. Her best performance so far for me was playing Ralph Kinsey's wife on his biopic - -- I think she got an oscar nomination for that, may not be the only one she's gotten. She's currently promoting a HBO movie or miniseries called "The C-word" about a woman coping with a terminal cancer diagnosis.

I agree with you, Dave. The young Mia Farrow and the young Joni were very similar in the looks department - the big beautiful eyes, the blonde hair, the amazing cheek bones. There was also a more subjective common quality about the faces of these two women in their younger days. Wistful? Winsome? Soulful? Hard to pin it down. I don't know who I would cast in a biopic about Joni and, like Sue, I have my reservations about a movie being made of Joni's life. In some ways it makes me cringe at how it could so easily get botched. And I agree, Sue, that Judy Davis was great as the adult Judy Garland. Tammy Blanchard was great as Judy in her younger years as well. The most impressive example that comes to mind of an actor who managed to pull off playing a famous entertainer from young adulthood up into her later years was Marion Cotillard as Edith Piaf in 'La Vie En Rose'. Although I really wanted Julie Christie to win the Oscar in 2008 for 'Away From Her', I must admit that when I finally got 'La Vie En Rose' from Netflix I was bowled over by Cotillard's portrayal of Piaf. But I'm not suggesting that she should play Joni. I really don't know who could do justice to Joni's life and personality. It would have to be someone at the right age, with the right look and with tremendous skill and range. Maybe Cate Blanchett? She pretty much nailed Katharine Hepburn in 'The Aviator' and she looks a bit like Joni. She is 41 but looks amazing so she might be able to stretch from the tentative young coffee-house performer to the out-spoken, world famous grandmother of the present day. So what if she's Australian (so is Judy Davis, btw)? If she could so uncannily evoke Hepburn's unmistakable east-coast-Bryn-Mawr voice, I don't see why she couldn't sound like a Canadian prairie girl. Then there is the whole question of whether the chosen performer should actually sing or lip-synch. In my opinion, Cissy Spacek as Loretta Lynn in 'Coal Miner's Daughter' is the gold standard for an actor actually doing the singing in a movie about a famous singer. But is there an actor who could *both* act and sing the part of Joni Mitchell successfully? That's a pretty tall order!
