Australian actress Nicole Kidman is to star in a film based on the life of British singing icon Dusty Springfield.
Kidman will also produce the bio pic.

The film is said to be one of two films on Dusty's life currently being made in Hollywood.

I just hope Hollywood does not distort Dusty's story too much - as they are prone to do.
Shame a British studio could not have made a film on Dusty's eventful life first.

Not until this morning!

At least with Nicole Kidman involved the production values should

be high, & she is a fine actress!!

[donna]

they should have did a Saturday night special with some well known singers from the UK and see who was better, but then it would have to be someone who could act too. can see all dubbing and far off shots in he film of he real Dusty being used.

Dusty Springfield began her singing career in a 'Girl Group' called the Lana Sisters during the late 1950s. The Lana Sisters never managed to get a chart hit though they were familiar performers to British TV viewers. They probably came closest with a version of 'Seven Little Girls' which they made with Al Saxon who took the male vocals. Her first taste of real success came when she teamed up with her brother Tom Springfield (Dion O'Brien) and his friend Tim Field. Together they formed the 'Springfields' who produced a blend of 'folk' and pop that audiences were ready for at the beginning of the 1960s.

Despite the success of the Springfields, Dusty decided to take a chance and go solo during 1963. Her first single 'I Only Want To Be With You' must have removed any doubts that she harboured about leaving the Springfields. A long series of hits followed and she rapidly became one of the most successful UK female singers of the era. By the late 1960s she pushed her music further towards the 'black' music she loved and became renowned on both sides of the Atlantic as one of the few white artists who could really sing 'soul'.

The Lana Sisters' records were as follows:

* Chimes of Arcady
* Ring-a-my-phone
* Buzzin'
* Cry, Cry Baby
* Mr. Dee-Jay
* Tell Him No
* Seven Little Girls (Sitting On The Back Seat)
* Sitting On The Sidewalk
* My Mother's Eyes
* You've Got What It Takes
* Tintarella Di Luna (Magic Colour Of The Moonlight)
* Someone Loves You Joe
* Down South
* Two-some

Dusty Springfield went on to join the Springfields and Riss formed The Chantelles.

All of them
Oh, only 3? Well I think I would have to include
I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself
Son Of A Preacher Man
Not sure about the 3rd, there are quite a few competing for that position

It seems as if they're all ready going for a plank in getting Nicole Kidman in. Only heard a few tracks of Duffy's but she can, at least, sing. I think Kidman is more famous for her marriages than anything else. Lately been touted as box-office death!

You should watch her films instead of reading about her marraiges......

I'm happy for Duffy to do it, if she can, but I doubt she can.
