Is there anyone else out there who thinks Patti's life would make a great movie, and does anyone have any suggestions as

Those are some interesting suggestions! Did anyone hear, there was supposed to be a film adaptation of Patricia Morrisroe's biography of Robert Mapplethorpe, and of Legs McNeil's "Please Kill Me", and a movie about Patti and Robert's friendship, and a documentary about her life? How come none of these projects ever happened?!

i love "please kill me"! i don't see how it could possibly be adapted into a movie though. there's so much in it! one of my favorite anecdotes was when allen ginsberg thought patti smith was a cute boy and hit on her.

I loved the part where Sid Vicious thought that a vacuum cleaner was some kind of drug! I know what you mean about there being too much in it. When I heard that they were making it into a movie it said the script would primarily concentrate on the story of the Ramones, which to my mind would not do anyone justice. Too many other interesting people might get relegated to the background. I would still love to see a film of the book though, without focusing on any one artist or group in particular. Hope it gets made one day!

Yeah, I have noticed their resemblance before, and posted about it. Sometimes Charlotte seems to imitate Patti's poses in pictures. I also think it was interesting that she was cast as Dylan's love interest in "I'm Not There".
It was also recently brought to my attention that Mira Furlan from "Lost" somewhat resembles an older Patti.
The original model is still the best though

Well Ellen Page is a fan and I think she looks a bit like her, of course she'll need some make-up, but think she can pull it off as an actress as well

Here posing as Patti on Horses I think it was, right?

I love the idea of having Charlotte Gainsbourg play Patti.
Someone said earlier that Richard Ashcroft could play Tom Verlaine, but I nominate Harry Lloyd for the role (brilliant actor).
