Fans of country singer Dolly Parton may soon be able to buy theatre tickets to a musical based on her eventful life.
|
Although nothing has been confirmed yet, the 64-year-old hinted in an interview with the Daily Mail that she is penning her autobiography in musical form and is also keen to turn it into a movie once it has appeared on the stage.
She mused that Scarlett Johansson could be ideal for the part if this is the case.
Parton would not be the first musician to turn her hand to writing for the theatre. Back in May 2009, Yusuf Islam - best known as Cat Stevens - revealed that he had penned a musical which went on to appear in the West End.
However, her tale would undoubtedly be an entertaining one. From humble beginnings on a farm in Tennessee, Parton became one of the most successful female artists ever, winning seven Grammy Awards and achieving 42 top ten country albums and 100 chart singles including the ever-popular 9 To 5.
