Witherspoon, returning to the formula that won her an Oscar back in 2005 for Walk the Line, is in talks to star in a biopic about jazz singer, songwriter, and actress Peggy Lee. Witherspoon — who secured the rights to Lee’s story after meeting with Lee’s granddaughter — would also serve as one of the film’s producers. Nora Ephron, who is said to be a “longtime fan of Lee’s,†will write and direct the movie. Perhaps Ephron will do for the Lee catalogue what her Julie & Julia achieved for the Julia Child collection.
