Yes, I agree. We are basically screwed because a normal actress who puts in a good performance in a well written and well acted movie will probably please most audiences. Our bar is way too high and we care too much ... as it should be!!

Judy Davis was amazing and Tammy Blanchard was a real ringer for the young Judy Garland. I donbt really know anything about Alison Pill. I'll have to watch that movie again. It's too bad Sissy Spacek is too - shall we say, advanced in years? - to play Joni all the way through the time period. If she could do with the role of Joni Mitchell what she did with Loretta Lynn in 'Coal Miner's Daughter', now that I would pay some money to see! Honestly, the whole idea of any actress playing Joni in any movie makes me uneasy.

There has been no word either whether they would use young actors for 60s to early 70s, and older actors for the late 70s to 90s ... the only movie I've seen that nailed this kind of casting was Me and My Shadows, with Tammy Blanchard as young Judy Garland and the MAGNIFICENT Judy Davis as the older Judy. Interesting, Alison Pill played the young Lorna Luft ... If you haven't seen this movie, it's what I consider a great biopic of an amazing entertainer.

Hi Sue, I don't have any real speculation but Anthony Kiedis has my vote to play James Taylor. Here's some info on him: http://www.biography.com/people/anthony-kiedis-380596 Love, Laura ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2012 #593 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list, send tojoni@smoe.org.
