“Legendary singer Dionne Warwick was in Cannes this morning to unveil a new biopic about her life,” reports Deadline‘s Nancy Tartaglione. “Dionne will star Grammy-winner LeToya Luckett (Destiny’s Child) as Warwick; Danny Glover as her father; Olympia Dukakis as Marlene Dietrich; and Lady Gaga as Cilla Black who Warwick today called her ‘nemesis.’ Mario Van Peebles is in talks to direct with shooting to begin in October.”
Update from Ramin Setoodeh in Variety: “‘Lady Gaga is not attached and will not appear in the project,’ her publicist said. ‘Reports of Gaga starring in the project are false.'”

A catalog of exquisite clarity. She's like an Ozu film in human form.

There's a documentary (assume it's a documentary) playing at TIFF this fall: Dionne Warwick: Don't Make Me Over.

I assume that's the one that played on CNN tonight...PVR'd it to watch later. May be partly intended as a push to finally get her into the Rock and Roll HOF.

"Message to Michael" is a little awkward to be anybody's favourite, but it's the best of the zero votes here.
"The Rock and Rock Hall of Fame"--just one member, Kid Rock.
You forgot it also includes his brother, Bob Rock.

I'd say "Windows of the World," because pizzicato raindrops.
