Keira Knightley, Nicole Kidman and even Amy Winehouse are being considered to play Dusty Springfield in a new movie. Dusty Springfield was a very, very popular singer in the 60′s with hits I Only Want To Be With You, You Don’t Have to Say You Love Me, and Son of a Preacher Man.
The £5million film, likely to be called Dusty, could begin filming late next year.
Terence Doyle, editor of British film magazine, says: “Playing Dusty would be a dream role and there is sure to be fierce competition to land the part.”
Voted the Top British Female Artist in 1964, 1965, and 1968, Dusty Springfield had a worldwide hit with Son of a Preacher Man. It’s, unquestionably, one of the best songs ever.
Her album Dusty In Memphis has been voted one of the greatest 100 pop records of all time.
A movie insider said the film would “almost certainly” explore the “complicated private life” of the gay singer who died from breast cancer in 1999. She was only 59 when she died.

Hi there, I wonder if anybody can help me here. I have Dusty’s car – the one she bought when she returned to the UK from Holland in 1989 ( during the Pet Shop Boys time) and drove until her death in 1999. It might be nice to use it in the movie they are planning to make soon. If anybody has a contact for the company that is producing the film I’d be really grateful.
I have kept the car in very good condition and looked after it extremely well. It has a personalised numberplate D16UST and its a silver citroen XM – it was top of the range when she bought it.
Anyway I hope someone can help me. Thank you. Regards Meg van Kuyk
