"Who Should Play Her?"
Ernest Borgnine.

From the STARPULSE bio= With a receding hairline, broad, jowly face, caterpillar eyebrows, bulgy eyes, and an incongruent but charming gap-toothed grin, versatile veteran actor Ernest Borgnine's resemblance to a pug dog.

A perfect match.

Kathy Bates is the logical choice. Her body type and manly behavior can't be denied.

Actually, Ms. Burke has been very successful on Broadway since leaving television...and she has lost more than 60 pounds in recent years after having been diagnosed with diabetes.

Why not let her play herself? She seems to have a great sense of humor, and who else could really do her better?

Not at all...just stating the facts. I am a fan of Ms. Burke. She is beautiful, brave and can sing her face off.

No man should play Susan Boyle. This is no fictional character to turn into a comedy. She is a real, live woman with feelings and a wonderful voice and look.

Susan is terrific, very down to earth and would be more than capable of playing herself if needed! I hope you are all treating her well.

Here's an idea... why not let Susan Boyle play herself? I think she would be great at that.
