I betcha Carey Mulligan could do it in 15 years. My choice would be Annie Potts 20 years ago. -- nm - Max Sep 2, 14:52
Wouldn't she be perfect? -- nm - Loyola Sep 2, 13:53 10
- I think she'd be an interesting choice as Lucy was a blonde bombshell actress in her early years -- nm - Remlik Sep 2, 14:05 9
  - she did a perfect Hepburn. -- nm - mud Sep 2, 14:09 8
    - That's what I was thinking. She was terrific in the Aviator. -- nm - Loyola Sep 2, 14:20 7
      - God I hated that movie. (Probably nothing to do with her performance, though.) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 14:21 6
        
        hating Scorsese movies is not allowed. It is known. -- nm - mud Sep 2, 14:41 4
        
        I liked The Departed and Gangs of New York and maybe a few others -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 15:03 3
        
        If you liked Gangs then your standards for liking Scorsese movies are pretty low. -- nm - Roger More Sep 2, 15:21 2
        
        Is it better if I mostly only liked a single character? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 15:30 1
        
        I don't think I remember anything about that movie than Bill the Butcher. And maybe the opening scene with Liam Neeson - Roger More Sep 2, 16:01
        
        I liked it alot. For its scope, especially. -- nm - Loyola Sep 2, 14:27
they'll give it to Emma Stone -- nm - Andie Sep 2, 13:51 10
- I'm not against that. She's got a goofy streak that could play. - Will Hunting Sep 2, 14:00 9
  - Stone is something and can look the era but I don't think she'd capture the brassy voice of Lucille. -- nm - Max Sep 2, 14:45
  - I think Emma would nail the comedy and Blanchett would nail the early hollywood stuff for sure. -- nm - Remlik Sep 2, 14:08 1
    - so they should do it like that dylan biopic -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 14:10
  - She'd be on the podium. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 2, 14:03 1
    - yup -- nm - Beaker Sep 2, 14:04
  - We just haven't seen it yet. I think Blanchett can play anyone. (Besides, it'll be a dramatic role. Bits like "Lucy stomping grapes" will be brief) -- nm - Roger More Sep 2, 14:03 2
    - this. Lucy was an uncanny businesswoman and a trailblazer in lots of different ways. I'd like to see Blanchett portray those sides of her. - Diva Sep 2, 14:16 1
      - yah; and I think she can do the comedy nicely, too. -- nm - b. Sep 2, 15:30
  - Say whaaaaat? -- nm - Carol Burnett si Sep 2, 14:01
For loosi? Christina Hendricks -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 2, 13:51
Tina Fey -- nm - Beaker Sep 2, 13:50 1
- Idris Elba. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 13:51
Who would you suggest? I vote for Tilda Swinton. - Beryllium Sep 2, 13:50 2
- i'm not sure who is the right actress, but she is totally wrong -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 2, 13:53
- Someone suggested Debra Messing, which would work visually but maybe not so much for other aspects. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 2, 13:51
