Temperature Rise

I do declare, this news is giving me the right kind of “Fever.”

Reese Witherspoon may star in a biopic about jazz singer, songwriter, and actress Peggy Lee.

The Oscar winner, who already has secured the rights to Lee’s story from the late singer’s estate, will serve as one of the movie’s producers, while Julie & Julia’s Nora Ephron will write and direct.

Witherspoon, of course, gave her vocal chords a lovely workout in Walk the Line, so I am confident she would do a nice job in a Lee project, especially a layered one that will depict the highs and lows of her personal life and decades-spanning career.

So would Gwyneth Paltrow, but, clearly, she snoozed....
