Irving Thalberg - Boy Genuis, the man who basically invented the studio system... MGM's Golden Boy, and the love of Norma Shearer's life.
I can't make images work on this board, but I think Sutton Foster would make an eerily good Judy Garland should another biopic be made.
Sutton is too tall to play Judy in any realistic manner. Judy was barely 5' tall, and Sutton is about 5'9".

Margo Martindale as Paula Deen. The story of a divorced agoraphobic transforming into a savvy businesswoman and celebrity chef.
The two women who played JG in the 2001 movie are taller, too. Tammy Blanchard is 5'6". Judy Davis 5'5".
Marion Cotillard is almost 5'7" and played the 4'8" Edith Piaf.
Tom Hanks would make a better Abe, imho. He is a descendant of Abe's mom, after all.
