Playing a legend! While many celebrities had iconic career milestones through the years, it can be an impressive feat to see such accomplishments recreated<\/a> on the big screen.<\/p>\n Celebrities such as Dolly Parton<\/strong><\/a>, Justin Bieber<\/strong><\/a> and Hillary Clinton<\/strong> <\/a>are among the few who already have casting ideas in mind<\/a>, though no films have officially been confirmed.<\/p>\n \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of parts of my life that would make [a] good [movie] \u2014just like the little \u2018Coat of Many Colors\u2019 in my early days, and then all the little pockets,\u201d the \u201cJolene\u201d songstress told\u00a0Marie Claire<\/a>\u00a0<\/i>in December 2020. \u201cYears and years ago, when I was going to do the Broadway musical<\/a> \u2014 I\u00a0never can get it to how I want it, but I\u2019m still working on it. But I thought [Kristin Chenoweth<\/strong><\/a> would] be an ideal person to do that. But we\u2019re all getting older now, so if we tell the parts, we may be able to have different Dollys. We\u2019d probably have to have \u2014 as long as my career has been \u2014 like a little Dolly, and a middle Dolly and then the older one. And she\u2019d still be great for that.\u201d<\/p>\n While Parton raved over the\u00a0Wicked\u00a0<\/i>OG<\/a> to play the part on the Great White Way, she previously name-dropped the likes of Reese Witherspoon<\/strong><\/a> and Scarlett Johansson<\/strong><\/a> in a movie adaptation. \u201cThat depends on when I get it done,\u201d the\u00a09 to 5\u00a0<\/i>star told\u00a0Elle<\/a>\u00a0<\/i>in October 2019 of her final pick.<\/p>\n Witherspoon \u2014 who previously played June Cash<\/a> in the Oscar-winning\u00a0Walk the Line\u00a0<\/i>biopic<\/a> of Johnny Cash<\/a>\u2019s life \u2014 has played coy about the speculation, though is in the process of adapting Parton\u2019s\u00a0Run, Rose, Run\u00a0<\/i>novel<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cDolly Parton is not only an icon to me, but a true inspiration to women and girls everywhere,\u201d the\u00a0Big Little Lies<\/a>\u00a0<\/i>alum said in a March 2022 statement of the project. \u201cMy admiration for her grew to even greater heights when reading\u00a0Run, Rose, Run<\/i>, a gripping and heartbreaking book I couldn\u2019t put down. I couldn\u2019t feel more honored to be working alongside her and James [Patterson,<\/strong><\/a> Parton\u2019s cowriter] to bring this remarkable story to the screen<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n While Witherspoon is one of Parton\u2019s top contenders for a musical biopic<\/a>, she\u2019s not quite ready for her own story to be told on film.<\/p>\n \u201cWell I don\u2019t think all the chapters of my life have been told yet, so I don\u2019t think I\u2019m ready\u00a0for a biopic,\u201d the\u00a0Hello Sunshine founder noted during a September 2021 interview with\u00a0Fox 5 New York<\/a>, revealing that her lookalike daughter, Ava Phillippe<\/strong><\/a>, would not play her. \u201cShe\u2019s not an actress. She\u2019s so happy with her life, and\u00a0I am just so enormously proud of her\u00a0and the incredible, compassionate young woman she\u2019s become.\u201d<\/p>\n Clinton, for her part, has a clear frontrunner in mind for the potential movie of her life<\/a>. (Her husband, Bill Clinton<\/strong><\/a>, was already brought to life by Clive Owen<\/strong><\/a> in 2021\u2019s Impeachment: American Crime Story<\/a>\u00a0<\/i>miniseries about the Monica Lewinsky<\/strong><\/a> scandal. Edie Falco<\/strong><\/a> played Hillary as a supporting character.)<\/p>\n \u201cIf I had a choice, it would be Meryl Streep<\/strong><\/a>, of course,\u201d the former Secretary of State told\u00a0The\u00a0Guardian<\/a>\u00a0<\/i>in July 2014.<\/p>\n
