Who’s Got the Right Stuff to Play Dolly Parton?
Reese Witherspoon won an Academy Award for her portrayal the iconic June Carter Cash in 'Walk the Line.' But is the actress equipped to tackle the role of another country music titan?
Nashville Gab reports that Reese is being considered for the lead role in a film based on the life of Dolly Parton. But when asked about the potential casting, a surprised Dolly quipped, "We'd have to get her a big ol' boob job!"
Dolly told the UK's Daily Express that actress Scarlett Johansson might be more naturally endowed to take on the part.
Dolly's currently basking in the success of her Broadway hit '9 to 5.' Earlier this week, she received a Tony Award nomination for Best Original Score for the musical.
