Vicki denies involvement in Chenoweth movie
Following reports today that the Kristen Chenoweth Dusty biopic was moving forward with Vicki Wickham as consultant, Vicki herself (seen above with Elton John) has denied any knowledge of the project and insisted she is not, and will not be involved.
Broadway.com reports that “The biopic, to be written and directed by Jessica Sharzer, would tell the story of Springfield's 1960s music career, which generated hit songs such as "Son of a Preacher Man" and "The Look of Love." It would also touch on the singer's personal life through her death at 59 of cancer and the recording of Dusty in Memphis.
Chenoweth is set to serve as co-producer of the film with with Universal's Marc Platt (producer of Broadway's Wicked, in which Chenoweth starred) Springfield's former manager, Vicki Wickham, is set to serve as a consultant for the film.”
As Vicki’s part in this is not true, one wonders if any of it is.
