<p dir="auto">Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes- Kyla Pratt.  Her age bares no meaning over her career, because she hasn't saw much physical change.  She's still getting cast as a teenager, because she still looks young enough to play one, even though she's almost a 30 year old mom.  She needs to do a biopic about Lisa Lopes A.S.A.P.  I don't care if the movie is theatrical or made for tv, she's perfect for the role, and I wish someone else took notice while she still has a babyface and a miniature voice.<br />

<p dir="auto">I agree with Isaac5855 about a Lucille Ball, but I think There is one person that could play her brilliantly,.. Fran Drescher, I saw her take her off in an episode of "The Nanny." I would guess she is a big fan of hers anyway, judging by many of her facial expressions and actions.</p>

<p dir="auto">I'd love to see Debra Messing in a biopic about Lucille Ball.I'm thinking maybe Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Alfred Hitchock?  I think Phil Hartman's life would make a really great movie, though I'm drawing a blank on casting.  There was a film made circa 1976 called WC FIELDS AND ME which focused on WC Fields and his relationship with mistress Carla Menotti.  Rod Steiger played Fields and Valerie Perrine played Carlotta.  A movie about Ray Combs might be interesting, but if it were done, it would be done for TV, not a theatrical film.  I don't see a film being done about Gene Wilder while he's alive.  I love the idea of a film about Joe Namath, who would you cast in that one?  As much as I loved Charles Nelson Reilly, I can't see his appeal being strong enough to merit a biopicif they did, like Combs, it would be for TV only.</p>

<p dir="auto">Hmmmmmmmm, I don't knowI have to wonder if Timberlake is a mature enough screen presence to be believable as Astaire would age throughout such a film.</p>

<p dir="auto">I put down Fred Astaire because I know he can dance (not as well as Astaire) and he looks like Astaire!</p>

<p dir="auto">A TV movie was made about Louis Armstrong was made back in the late 70's early 80's with Ben Vereen playing him, but I think Satchmo is worthy of a theatrical biopic.  Gary Oldman as Karl Marx sounds like an awesome idea.</p>

<p dir="auto">I'll second a Gary Cooper movie though I wonder about Ewan MacGregor playing himI like Renee Zellwegger playing Doris Day.  The one that stopped me cold was Justin Timberlake as Fred Astaireyou're serious?  Why Justin Timberlake?</p>

<p dir="auto">Not bad, not bad, but it might turn out a bit too much like "Goodfellas" or "Scarface". A rise-and-fall movie with Michael Pena as the main guy.</p>

<p dir="auto">The more I read about this mysterious guy, the more fascinated I become.<br />
Until recently, I didn't even know who he was.<br />
Found out more about him thru a great book I am reading now (not his bio or life story btw)and am convinced he deserves a <a href="http://movie.No" rel="nofollow ugc">movie.No</a> matter your opinion of the guy, he has had one glamorous and interesting life.<br />

Think of a Goodfellas (my 2nd fave film) meets Charlie Wilson's War with a touch of Bond thrown in for good measure.</p>
