Not to diminish her, because I am a fan, but shes not exactly a mega star like the others.

Umm, ok so Stevie wasn't in prison but she was a drug addict...twice.. and her best friend died not long after giving birth and Stevie married her dead friend's husband...etc. She slept with 2 out of 10 or whatever Eagles, big deal. It's not like she banged a whole football team. Frankly I think Johnny Cash and Ray Charles are boring and if the actors in those movies hadn't done such fantastic jobs portraying them, they would've gone straight to DVD too. That is why they need to cast someone more compelling than Lohan to play Stevie. Her story is interesting they just need someone who can bring it across to people. A more respected actress. And Stevie wrote more than a few hits. She wrote some of the most recognizable and radio-played songs in rock. According to VH1's Behind the Music she's had 17 Top 40 hits. That ain't chopped liver. How many did Ray Charles have?
