Cher in T.V. MAME — Page 3

I wouldn't really want to see Donna Murphy as Mame after hearing all these other super choices.

Megan Mullally would be GREAT as Auntie Mame.

When Cher was talking of doing the television movie there was a suggestion of Bette playing Vera. Wouldn't work due to the relationship those two hve now or at least did at the time. It would have been interesting. I get visions of drag queens across the country having Mame viewing parties...lol.

Of the suggestions, I think the Megan Mullally suggestion woul be perfect.

I really think it's very much dead.

How about Faith Prince as Mame? She has the warmth for the role and can sing well.

This joins a long line of shelved TV/film projects. Remember Reba was supposed to be in a TV Movie of Annie Get Your Gun, and Hunchback was rewritten for television. Movie-musicals seem to come and go on television and at the theatre. With the potential theatrical and DVD hits of Dreamgirls and Hairspray, things maybe looking better. Disney has been the biggest disappointment with TV musicals. Geppetto, South Pathetic and Once Upon a Mattress were atrocities.

I wish Cher would do something, heck even Sweeny would be interesting. I wonder what her British accent sounds like. Oh and by the way, most hit shows are optioned by some studio for some later project. I wish Showtime would do Batboy. Maybe some day HBO will get into the business. I remember watching Little Shop countless times on HBO many many years and falling in love with it.

I agree, she is a good actress. Actually, pretty amazing. Maybe she can star the in the First Wives Club musical?

Cher doesn't look that weird to me. There are worse examples of celebrity plastic surgery out there. I miss her old, practically Native American-esque look, but she looks okay to me still, especially when her hair is dark.
