The one feature or quality they both have about them is that innocence. Both have that pure, innocent look. However, I'd say Joni lost that innocent look a few years into her career so I wouldn't cast Taylor Swift any further. My two cents. - -Mon To: joni@smoe.org Cc: Michael Paz ; Robert Sartorius ; Michael Sentance ; Bob.Muller@fluor.com; Dave Blackburn ; Jim ; Christina Friis-Nielsen ; "sem8@cornell.edu" ; "coyoterick@aol.com" ; "kbhla@fastmail.fm" Sent: Tuesday, February 21, 2012 5:00 AM Subject: Taylor Swift as Joni I see that Sheila Weller herself 'suggested' Taylor Swift in a blog interview back in May last year - and I'm wondering if this is how the rumour started in the first place - haven't seen any official confirmation - see http://bit.ly/w9jM0f Sheila wrote: >> As Joni: Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift is a huge star among young audiences, and, having just moved to Beverly Hills, she is obviously working hard to turn her music stardom into a film equivalent. Like Joni, she has written famously guessed-about songs about her boyfriends. She is tall, lean, feminine, projects charisma/exhibitionism AND shy, ladylike decorousness...that was Joni in the mid-late '60s and even early 70s. Joni is the easiest to cast, in that, as complicated as she was and is (and, man!, she was and is), on first interpretation, she fills the archetype of the lovely, sensitive, long-blond-haired girl singer (Maybe because she created that archetype), so "indication" of that now-well- understood type goes a long way; the idioysyncracies can be filled in. There are more obvious Joni's than Caroles or Carlys among young actresses today. (Amanda Seyfried, Mia Wiakowska, Jennifer Lawrence, etc.) I'd like Taylor Swift -- a superstar and a lovely girl -- to embrace her Inner Joni (and what girl singer doesn;t have one?), take a ton of acting classes, and run with it, providing the highest-glow wattage for the ensemble, which will shine over the whole project. And, for those who say: But T aylor Swift's a country singer..., well, she's actually from Pennsylvania. >> Sheila also suggested Michelle Williams for Carole and Evan Rachel Wood for Carly. best to all PaulC ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2012 #300 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list, send tojoni@smoe.org.
