Loretta Lynn has hand-picked Zooey Deschanel to play her in the upcoming Broadway production of Coal Miner's Daughter, the role that brought Sissy Spacek an Oscar. Here is the Legend herself introducing Deschenel at the Ryman Auditorium:
What do you think? My first impression is that Zooey is too cutesy-cute to play the gutsy, down-to-earth Loretta Lynn. Does she have what it takes to follow in the footsteps of Spacek's indelible performance? I'm also a little surprised it took this long to bring Coal Miner's Daughter to Broadway.

I hate the idea. Agree with you: Zooey Deschanel is too cute, too girly, too silly to play the Coal Miner's Daughter. But who knows...?
Back to Zooey...remember that line from "A Chorus Line" in which the chorus boy sings:
"If Troy Donahue could be a movie star, then I could be a movie star too"?
Well, that is exactly what I think about ZD: "If Zooey Deschanel can be a movie star, then I can be a movie star too."
I am tired, TIRED of her cutesy-wutesy girl schtick.
