Nicole Kidman To Play 'Dusty Springfield'

Academy Award Winning actress Nicole Kidman is set to play 60's English soul singer Dusty Springfield in a new movie. The film according to Daily Mail UK is based around Springfield's rise to fame, her battle with drinking and drugs and her bisexual affairs.

Screenwriter Michael Cunningham is at the helm again (he wrote The Hours in which Nicole received her Oscar from). 59-year old Springfield died of breast cancer in 1999. It was rumored that Kate Winslett was offered the role first but after a scheduling conflict Nicole is now seriously being considered. Filming wouldn't commence until Nicole gives birth to her baby.

Check out this pic below of Dusty in her prime. Do you think Nicole can pull this off???
