Movies about singers

Well, a movie about a great and greatly troubled singer, that is - Edith Piaf.
Marian Cotillard absolutely inhabits the part in "La Vie en Rose." I was
gripped by this biopic and I can't help but hope that some visionary filmmaker
will take it upon him or herself to create a movie about Susannah McCorkle
in the same spirit, and with the same level of talent. WHO COULD PLAY
SUSANNAH? Meryl Streep is a bit too old - except not for the last, tortured
years, perhaps. Oh I know - that actress in "Girl with the Pearl Earring," as the
young Susannah - Scarlett Johannsen. Or maybe Uma Thurman, who radiates
more intelligence. Oh, I don't know...But a movie should be made - all the elements are there!

Interview on KCSM, San Mateo

I'm looking forward to sitting down with Alisa Clancy on the show "A Morning
Cup of Jazz," in San Mateo, California on August 7th. Susannah McCorkle was born
and educated nearby, in Berkeley, her mother and father grew up there. She had
a bittersweet relationship with her native soil. I hope some of her devoted listeners will tune in - and some new ones.
