Reese Witherspoon won an Academy Award for her portrayal the iconic June Carter Cash in 'Walk the Line.' But is the actress equipped to tackle the role of another country music titan?Nashville Gab reports that Reese is being considered for the lead role in a film based on the life of Dolly Parton. But when asked about the potential casting, a surprised Dolly quipped, "We'd have to get her a big ol' boob job!"
Dolly told the UK's Daily Express that actress Scarlett Johansson might be more naturally endowed to take on the part.
Dolly's currently basking in the success of her Broadway hit '9 to 5.' Earlier this week, she received a Tony Award nomination for Best Original Score for the musical.

Kelly Pickler would be the perfect person to play Dolly
Randiat 5-07-2009
oooo if Kelly can act I will whole-heartedly agree with that statement

She can't sing, talk coherently..so why do we think she can act. She is getting by on her new boobs and looks cause she doesnt have talent.

I think Reese can pull it off...c'mon, she doesn't need big boobs...they can manufacture those for the movie. Loved her in Sweet Alabama!!!

I would love to see Reese Witherspoon in the role. Please no Scarlett Johansson. She could never pull it off.

Alexis Grace from this years American Idol..She looks just like a young Dolly Parton..and sings just as sweet and just as tiny as Dolly....There is no resemblance between Reese and Dolly .

That's the girls name! I was trying to remember! I posted earlier and agree with you! Alexis is a perfect pick! We all sat here and even said that if they EVER made a movie about Dolly they should cast her!

I was looking to reply with the same person. That was my first thought when I seen Alexis Grace. Perfect fit in for her. Wish they would read this and give her a chance at it.

Alexis would be perfect, as would Kellie Pickler. They are both great, but of course, not as great as Dolly, there is only ONE Dolly! Reese could probably pull it off as she is a great actress, but Scarlett Johansson? NO WAY! All the others are petite like Dolly.
