Hollywood’s hottest young stars are tussling over who will land the coveted role of country legend Dolly Parton on the big screen! The “Nine to Five” singer, 68, recently revealed that she’s writing a movie version of her life story, and a source says Tinseltown’s elite are already scrambling for the plum acting gig.
“Dolly’s script isn’t even finished yet, but it’s all the buzz in Hollywood,” said an insider with knowledge of the project. “Her life story – from a dirt-poor beginning in the backwoods of Tennessee to a worldwide icon at the top of the music charts – is catnip for actresses.”
Dolly’s goddaughter Miley Cyrus, singer/actress Jessica Simpson, “Gossip Girl” beauty Blake Lively, Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence and “Nashville” star Hayden Panettiere have thrown their hats in the ring, said the source.
