reese = peggy lee?

so..sites are reporting that Reese Witherspoon is in the beginning stages of creating another musician biopic. after winning an Oscar in 2005 for portraying June Carter in "Walk the Line," Reese is making things happen to create an (as-of-now) untitled film. while there are still negotiations being made for her to star in it, she is producing the Fox 2000 project with Marc Platt. Reese brought the project to the studio after securing the rights to Peggy's life from the Lee estate. Platt produced "Legally Blonde"; and writer-director Nora Ephron (who is a major fan of Lee's music) is also on board with the project. Ephron last wrote and directed "Julie & Julia."

if you haven't heard about Peggy Lee before, you should really do a little research on her and her music. i love Peggy Lee. she got her start in the 40s singing with Benny Goodman's band. she earned an Oscar nomination for best supporting actress for her role in the 1955 musical "Pete Kelly's Blues" and did some songwriting and voice-over work for Disney's "Lady and the Tramp." some of her songs/work include Why Don't You Do Right (my personal fave), Mañana, Fever, and Big Spender.

I didn't see "Walk the Line" but I'm pretty sure I will definitely be checking THIS movie out.
