It's a Canadian film, so you may not have heard of it, I don't know. The Rocket was one of the best hockey players in the NHL and played back in the 40s-50s.<br />Peter O'Toole in Lawrence of Arabia is still fantastic after all these years.<br />Coal Miner's Daughter was great, and I thought Sissy Spacek and Tommy Lee Jones did excellent jobs in it.<br />I agree with Jamie Foxx as Ray.

I have nothing agaist Zoe, but I don't think she is a strong enough actress to pull this off. Nina Simone had some real issues and I'm wondering can Zoe reach deep into herself to bring the best that was Nina Simone! @ebonynicole81https://www.blogger.com/profile/12359508734725443236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7641192580368746983.post-91501096177310378362013-03-01T15:53:02.115-05:002013-03-01T15:53:02.115-05:00I enjoyed Meryl Streep as Julia Child, and more re...I enjoyed Meryl Streep as Julia Child, and more recently Daniel Day-Lewis as Abe Lincoln.<br />Will Smith also did an awesome job portraying Christopher Gardner's story in "The Pursuit of Happiness".<br /><br />You made some great points here. I didn't know about Nina Simone, or Left-Eye biopics.Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08532358185597781862noreply@blogger.com
