Ang Lee, director of
Brokeback Mountain, will follow up that success by making a biopic of
Dusty Springfield's life, starring
Charlize Theron as Dusty and
Kate Moss as Dusty's lesbian socialite lover. For all of you born too late to remember her, Dusty Springfield was a British music goddess of soul, pop, rock, blues, and everything in between, known as the
White Lady of Soul. She had her greatest success in the 1960's. Her album
Dusty in Memphis is still considered today to be one the best soul albums ever recorded. Among her most remembered songs are "Son of a Preacher Man," "I Only Want to Be with You," "Wishin' and Hopin'" and "You Don't Have to Say You Love". After reading some articles about her life, it does seem that it would make a greatly interesting film.
