Anne Hathaway is hoping to play Judy Garland

Hollywood starlet Anne Hathaway is in talks to play her movie idol Judy Garland in an upcoming film based on Gerald Clarke’s biography, Get Happy: The Life of Judy Garland. The 26-year-old actress is so desperate to appear in the movie – which charts Judy’s rise to fame and her struggle with drink and drugs – that she may have to sacrifice other projects, which include a lead role in a comedy called The FianceThe Weinstein Company has optioned the film and stage rights to the Garland story.

A Tinseltown insider says: ‘Anne dearly wants to do a musical and this could be her chance.'The big attraction is that it really will be her singing, not recordings of Judy. She is determined to do it justice.

'If she nails the part, she will be a shoo-in for some big awards.’

Don't forget her "impromptu" performance with Hugh at the Oscars this year in that embarrassing medley.  She comes in at 4:25 through 6:10.

This is the "Bollywood" ending to Ella Enchanted.  OT, but is this a rip-off of Heath's A Knight's Tale, including the Queen song?

She's too tall and too skinny.

Is Janeane Garofalo not available?

I think Anne would be great as Judy!! She could do her trembling smile so well. And, yes, we know she can sing!! Even Sophia Loren commented on her talent.

If the plot included any of Judy's most famous songs, I wouldn't be surprised if they dubbed the actual Judy singing.

She does a very credible Mary Poppins in a Saturday Night Live sketch,

but that ain't Judy.  Still, I think she'd be a good fit.  Need to gain a little needed weight, you ask me.
