[78-L] fwd: Ol' Blue Eyes is .. black? ^

And they were all pretty terrible. I'd prefer not to see a biopic, I think they always fail; Sinatra's personality was too large and too real to be portrayed by some idiot actor. Though I think Cate Blanchett would be great!

More importantly, who plays Ava Gardner?

Just a thought: Scorcese may be planning something along the lines of the
Bob Dylan bio. film "I'm Not There", where different actors portrayed the
subject at different periods of his career, including Cate Blanchett. 
Perhaps different actors of assorted races, etc. would portray Sinatra
based on various aspects of his musical career and/or personality.  I
certainly hope not!  In any case, there were at least a couple of
made-for-TV bio's made around the time of his death.
