1. Wasn't there a movie about Janis Joplin?

The Rose?

[HEyHEY]

2. Never heard of it

[gardenista]

5. Here

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0079826/

But it was "modeled" after Joplin, so it's not the same as "Ray"

7. You never heard of The Rose with Bette Midler?

4. Very loosely based, by the time Hollywood got done with it

...it had absolutely nothing to do with JJ. She would have been appalled at that treatment, I suspect.

8. You're probably right. I barely remember it.

She supposedly lived in my town for a while. In a victorian right on the water. It was different around here back then.

11. I submitted the script for, "Mother Teresa, The Movie."

But everyone was bored to fucking tears.

It didn't have any good sex, money or pizzaz. Goddamit.

[Swede]

12. Like Amelia Earhart or Madame Cure?

Why not?

[Pirate Smile]

15. There have been movies about Billy Holiday, Patsy Cline, Loretta

Lynn, Tina Turner.

Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head.

edit to add the Dorothy Dandridge movie with Halle Berry on HBO.

[DBoon]

16. "The Patti Smith Story"

"Pissing in a River: The Goddess of Punk Rock"

I'm not holding my breath for that one...
